+====== Orphaned/Unrelated Branches ======
+  * Create an orphaned branch
+  * Delete all the files in the new branch to start fresh
+  * I think you have to at least do a commit to the branch before it can be pushed to a remote
+<code>
+git checkout --orphan <orphaned branch name to create>
+git rm -rf .
+git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit of an unrelated (orphan) branch"
+git push -u origin <branch name>
