I usually keep my master branch clean and only use it for pulling from 
upstream.

> git pull upstream master 

 When I want to, for example, contribute a new package, I will create a new 
branch from master. I usually name it after the package I'm creating. So, 
 From my master branch:

> git checkout -b newpkg

If some time has passed since I've started, A day or two:

> $ git pull --rebase upstream master

 When I think my package is ready for a pull request:

> git commit -m "New package: newpkg-version

git push -u origin newpkg

If there are errors, fix them and then:

> git commit --amend

git push -f


Anyways, this is my usual workflow. Hope this helps!
