About experimenting, of course you should test a chunk of code that
relates to one feature or one refactoring, before committing it to some
branch (master or testing branch).
Thanks Marc,
I would always push properly tested commits to github origin. And I would use separate branch or repo clones for experimenting.
Thilina, About pushing as in your case, if you don't wanna push your current local changes to github origin, you can use:-
git checkout master
git push origin master~x:master (x being integer = number of commits to leave from HEAD)
After you have properly merged upstream to master.
