This is a repo to track silly code projects. These may or may not end up in their own repos at some later date.

Speaking of which, having now broken out two projects from this repo I want to keep the commands for doing it again.

Clone this repo into a new directory NEWREPO and get just the directory you want as master:

$ git clone git@github.com:chrisgilmerproj/silliness.git NEWREPO
$ cd NEWREPO
$ git remote rm origin
$ git filter-branch --prune-empty --subdirectory-filter DIRNAME master
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/chrisgilmerproj/NEWREPO.git
$ git push origin .

Verify that everything is now correctly up in GitHub and all the history is how you want it. Now go back to this repo and run this command:

$ git filter-branch --index-filter "git rm -r --cached --ignore-unmatch DIRNAME" --prune-empty
$ git push -f origin .
