How do I move a Git branch out into its own repository?

问题

I have a branch that I'd like to move into a separate Git repository, and ideally keep that branch's history in the process. So far I've been looking at git filter-branch, but I can't make out whether it can do what I want to do.

How do I extract a Git branch out into its own repository?

回答1:

You can simply push a branch to a new repository. All of its history will go with it. You can then choose whether to delete the branch from the original repository.

e.g.

git push url://to/new/repository.git branch-to-move:new-branch-name

For a new repository, new-branch-name is typically master.

Creating a new, empty repository can be done with git init.

回答2:

This will keep the history of all the branches, but make your copy point to the one branch in particular:

git clone -b newbranch CurrentRepo NewRepo

This does not 'move' anything, just makes a copy.
