To create a full orphan copy of a current branch in git, you can follow these steps:

1. Check out the branch that you want to create an orphan copy of:

1

git checkout <branch-name>

1. Create a new orphan branch based on the current branch:

1

git checkout --orphan <new-branch-name>

1. Remove all files from the working directory and the index:

1

git rm -rf .

1. Add and commit any new files that you want to include in the orphan branch:

1
2

git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit on orphan branch"

1. Push the orphan branch to the remote repository (if necessary):

git push origin <new-branch-name>

Now you have successfully created a full orphan copy of the current branch in git.
