How to do it...

After you've created a new branch and added and committed your changes, change back to the original branch and use the git merge command to merge the changes in your new branch:

    $ git checkout originalBranch 
    $ git checkout -b modsToOriginalBranch
    # Edit, test
    $ git commit -a -m "Comment on modifications to originalBranch"
    $ git checkout originalBranch  
    $ git merge modsToOriginalBranch
