To extract a directory from a repository and keep the history, you can use the `git subtree split` command to create a new branch:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
git subtree split --prefix=web/modules/custom/my_module --branch=split
|
||||||
|
Created branch 'split'
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will create a new branch with just the contents of the given directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This can be pushed to a different repository:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
git push git@github.com:opdavies/new-repo.git split:main
|
||||||
|
```
