Do you want them to be on the new branch as they are, i.e. as commits built on top of master? Then

git branch mybranch master

will create a new branch "mybranch" which contains those commits. If you want to "remove" them from master, then

git checkout master # unless you are there already git reset --keep origin/master

to "rewind" master to commit "origin/master".
