Create private branch of a public repository

This gist describes how to create private branch (downstream) of a public repository (upstream).

Initialize repository

$ git init private-repo
$ cd private-repo
#!/bin/sh
# Take a PDF, OCR it, and add OCR Text as background layer to original PDF to make it searchable.
# Hacked together using tips from these websites:
# http://www.jlaundry.com/2012/ocr-a-scanned-pdf-with-tesseract/
# http://askubuntu.com/questions/27097/how-to-print-a-regular-file-to-pdf-from-command-line
# Dependencies: pdftk, tesseract, imagemagick, enscript, ps2pdf
# Would be nice to use hocr2pdf instead so that the text lines up with the PDF image.
