Program against a remote feature branch

Let's say the parent repo has a feature branch called partitions

1. Fork the repo, Sync.
2. Manually create branch partitions at the forked repo.
3. Click on sync fork.
4. Create local branch partitions

git checkout -b partitions

5. Set upstream to origin/partitions

git branch -u origin/partitions
// branch 'partitions' set up to track 'origin/partitions'.

6. Now, the local branch could be very different from the tracking branch. In this case, we don't mind having conflicts, the goal is to sync.

Your branch and 'origin/partitions' have diverged,
and have 187 and 4 different commits each, respectively.
  (use "git pull" if you want to integrate the remote branch with yours)

7. Tell Git to reset the head of partitions to the same commit as origin/partitions, and update the working tree to match.

git reset --hard origin/partitions

8. Now, create a new branch to start my work.

git checkout -b partitions-1

9. Make changes and commit.
10. Push.

git push --set-upstream origin partition-1
