• Same! Worked this out just last night.

    Have you tested 'Fetch upstream' when in your forks 'master' branch?

    If that doesn't sort it for you, I'd say do:

    1. Create a new branch in your repo 'mybackup' from the branch you've made commits/changes to ('master' in your case) . (Select branch 'master' -> then enter 'mybackup' in the text input field -> 'Create branch: ...')
      Or/and download your fork repo as zip.

    2. Set up git and gh (github) in your terminal/command line.

    3. Take inspiration from this medium article: How to reset your git branch to a previous commit (both local and remote)

    4. Maybe keep your 'master' branch pristine and create a new one where you work on your 'subtle changes'.

    5. Get files you added/modified from backup and paste them back into your new branch (or 'master' branch).

    There may be a better way to go about it - but this worked for me.
