If you do not set a remote for this branch, then this branch won't be pushed.
The default behavior of "git push" without options can be configured with the
"push.default" setting (see man git-config(1)).
There is nothing that prevents you from running `git push origin foo` though.

If you don't need to update master, you can follow this:
4) git fetch
(assuming that your current branch is myprivatebranch)
5a) git rebase origin/master
(otherwise, to combine git checkout && git rebase origin/master:)
5b) git rebase origin/master myprivatebranch

git fetch && git rebase origin/master && time make -j9
