For rebasing specifically I often don’t make a temporary branch. I’ll use the reflog and reset to the commit hash if something gets messed up. Those “backup” branches really aren’t that for me. They’re just named commits which makes it easier to figure out where I was. But they are sometimes necessary since the reflog isn’t always nice and easy to read. And pushing that branch to a remote? That’s unnecessary unless you want to delete the whole repo and clone it again in case you “mess it up”. Well, I guess that could be useful in a tutorial.
