I am working on a local git repository. There are two branches, master and feature_x.

I want to push feature_x to the remote repo, but I do not want to push the changes on the master branch.

Will a git push origin feature_x from my feature_x branch (feature_x branch already exists on remote) work?

I do not want to test this on my box, because I cannot push to master right now.

yes, just do the following

git checkout feature_x
git push origin feature_x
