I just need to create a new branch without copying the master branch which is already in repo.
Is there any way to create a separate branch which has separate code in the same repo?

You had selected the right answer before. If you create a branch from master (as the wrong answer suggests), it won't be a separate branch. – VonC Jan 31 '20 at 07:27

Since Git 2.23, you would use the new (still experimental) command git switch.
In your case: git switch --orphan newBranch
Create a new orphan branch, named
<new-branch>.
All tracked files are removed.
That branch won't have any common file/history with master.
(Before 2.23, git checkout --orphan <new-branch>, but using checkout is no longer recommended, since it deals both with files and branches)
