Git - Create a new branch with all the content from the master branch

Say I have so far only worked on master and already pushed all the commits to the master branch on github.com. It is that simple to create a testing with all the content from master (at this specific point in time)?

$ git checkout -b testing
$ git add *
$ git push origin testing

Yes, as RomainValeri says, it is not necessary the git add * To create the testing branch, if you are in the master branch:

git checkout -b testing

To push your modifications to the branch testing:

git add -A
git commit -m "Some message"
git push origin testing

Then, if your are want to merge what you have in testing to the master branch:

git checkout master
git merge testing
