Separate the Octopress blog into two different repos

My blog is running on octopress + github pages, so at first I had in my blog repo two branches:

• master
• source

The source branch is a place where I make changes, edit posts, add images etc. The master branch is generated and deployed by rake. This branch is acting like a hosting for gh-pages.

I wanted to split the repo so I used these following commands:

$ git remote add blog https://github.com/johnnykernel/blog.git

$ git push -u blog source

$ git push origin --delete source

Thus the master branch stays in johnnykernel.github.io repo. But the source branch moved to newly created repo called blog
