I've split git repos before and using filter-branch is the key to keep the desired and purge the rest.
>From my notes, these two posts helped me: * https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/using-git/splitting-a-subfolder-out-into-a-new-repository * https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/split-a-repository-in-two/ These are my shortcut notes for doing so, hope they are clear enough for you and help. In a new repo, locally convert a current source subdirectory to the root directory and purge everything else; then push to remote and locally cleanup: 1. Make directory for new repo from current repo: git clone current-repo to-new-directory 1. Disconnect from current remote immediately to prevent catastrophe and verify none set git remote rm origin git remote -v 1. Keep desired dir and move it to top level, remove the rest 1. FOLDER-NAME: which one to keep and move to top level 2. BRANCH-NAME: which branch to do this on (must exist, e.g. master) git filter-branch --prune-empty --subdirectory-filter FOLDER-NAME BRANCH-NAME 1. Setup remote repo and verify set git remote add origin https://githost.com/NEW-REPOSITORY-NAME.git <https://host-stuff.com/NEW-REPOSITORY-NAME.git> git remote -v 1. Push to new repo git push -u origin BRANCH-NAME 1. Further cleanup: delete all tags (locally only (Powershell)) git tag | foreach-object -process { git tag -d $_ } 1. Further cleanup: remove local unreachable/recyclable commits (remnants of prior) git reflog expire --expire-unreachable=now --all git gc --prune=now On Sun, Dec 12, 2021 at 7:32 AM Hervé BOUTEMY <herve.bout...@free.fr> wrote: > nice work done > I published the result to https://maven.apache.org/ref/caching-LATEST/ > > now, on moving source to a separate Git repository, I did a basic test > pushing > to a new repository: > https://github.com/hboutemy/maven-build-cache-extension > > this leads to getting quite a lot of Maven history > > I'm not a Git wizard: is there a way to cut down the history to keep only > the > interesting part when the build cache code donation was done? > > Regards, > > Hervé > > Le jeudi 9 décembre 2021, 10:39:10 CET Guillaume Nodet a écrit : > > Le jeu. 9 déc. 2021 à 09:52, Hervé BOUTEMY <herve.bout...@free.fr> a > écrit : > > > we have most plugins that are simple with only 1 mono-module build > > > This makes documentation easy in /plugins/maven-*-plugin/: > > > see https://maven.apache.org/components/plugins/ for full list > > > > > > we have a few components that have a plugin as part of a larger > > > multi-module > > > build, like surefire, jxr, archetype, scm, plugin-tools, enforcer, > > > release, and > > > soon wrapper > > > > > > And from experience, it makes documentation harder because there is > always > > > the > > > question of what to write in the plugin pages and what to write in > other > > > modules.
