git shelving to remote repository

Question

I would like to know if it's possible to use git with the following workflow:

• locally clone a remote repository

• make local changes

• commit them locally

• save them remotely so as not loose changes and in case I want to continue work on another workstation

go on like this, until the feature is completely finished

then I would like to finally commit it, like if it were a single commit...

I'm talking about shelving, but saving the partial commits to the origin repository

is it possible (or recommend) to work like this with git???

Answer 1

Sure, commit your changes to some named branch, and push that branch to the remote.

When you want to commit as a single commit, you can use git merge --squash.
