How can I move a single directory from a git repository to a new repository whilst maintaining the history?

To export a folder as a new repository you need:

1. To clone the repository where the folder you want to export is.
2. To create a empty repository on your hosting provider as GitHub, to store the exported folder.

3. Open the cloned repository folder and run this command:

   git subtree push --prefix=YourFolderNameToExport https://github.com/YourUserName/YourNewCleanRepoName master
