extract-repo

Extracts files from one repository into a new repository, preserving complete git history of the extracted files.

Pass the repo to extract code from and a list of directories/files to extract from that repo.

$ ./bin/extract-repo  some_file.rb some/directory/to/extract/
extract-repo --delete-extracted --repo-url-or-path git@github.com:org/repo.git --output-path new/repo/path --paths some/dir some/file.ext some/other/dir 

Results will wind up in ~/tmp/extract/ if you don't specify an --output-path

--delete-extracted will delete any files in the source repo that you extracted to the new repo.
