Make a branch with your changes. The easiest way is to rename the current branch and then make a new maint or master, whichever you’re currently on:
  git branch rename foo mybranch #Where foo is either maint or master
  git branch -t origin/foo foo #If you’ve already renamed your remotes, then you probably want to track upstream/master instead of origin/foo
