How do I split a feature branch into two?
I just realized that I started writing code for what was going to become a second independent feature on the branch I was already working on.
```text
--A--B--C main
\
`Q--R--S--X--Y--Z feature-1
```
How do I split my work into two different branches diverging from `main`?
```text
--A--B--C main
|\
| `Q--R--S feature-1
\
`X--Y--Z feature-2
```
My question is different from [this one][1] because in that question, upstream already merged `feature-1` into their `main`.
