----
-If you create a new clone of the repository, you won't lose any of your Git history or changes when you split a folder into a separate repository.
-
-{% data reusables.command_line.open_the_multi_os_terminal %}
-
-2. Change the current working directory to the location where you want to create your new repository.
-
-4. Clone the repository that contains the subfolder.
-   ```shell
-   $ git clone https://{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}/USERNAME/REPOSITORY-NAME
-   ```
-
-4. Change the current working directory to your cloned repository.
-   ```shell
-   $ cd REPOSITORY-NAME
-   ```
-
-5. To filter out the subfolder from the rest of the files in the repository, install [`git-filter-repo`](https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo), then run `git filter-repo` with the following arguments.
-   - `FOLDER-NAME`: The folder within your project where you'd like to create a separate repository.

-   {% tip %}
-
-   **Tip:** Windows users should use `/` to delimit folders.
-
-   {% endtip %}
-
-   {% endwindows %}
-  
-   ```shell
-   $ git filter-repo --path FOLDER-NAME/
-   # Filter the specified branch in your directory and remove empty commits
-   > Rewrite 48dc599c80e20527ed902928085e7861e6b3cbe6 (89/89)
-   > Ref 'refs/heads/BRANCH-NAME' was rewritten
-   ```
-   
-   The repository should now only contain the files that were in your subfolder(s).
-
-6. [Create a new repository](/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-new-repository) on {% data variables.product.product_name %}.
-
-7. At the top of your new repository on {% ifversion ghae %}{% data variables.product.product_name %}{% else %}{% data variables.location.product_location %}{% endif %}'s Quick Setup page, click {% octicon "clippy" aria-label="The copy to clipboard icon" %} to copy the remote repository URL.

-   **Tip:** For information on the difference between HTTPS and SSH URLs, see "[About remote repositories](/get-started/getting-started-with-git/about-remote-repositories)."
-
-   {% endtip %}
-
-8. Check the existing remote name for your repository. For example, `origin` or `upstream` are two common choices.
-   ```shell
-   $ git remote -v
-   > origin  https://{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}/USERNAME/REPOSITORY-NAME.git (fetch)
-   > origin  https://{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}/USERNAME/REPOSITORY-NAME.git (push)
-   ```
-
-9. Set up a new remote URL for your new repository using the existing remote name and the remote repository URL you copied in step 7.
-   ```shell
-   git remote set-url origin https://{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}/USERNAME/NEW-REPOSITORY-NAME.git
-   ```
-
-10. Verify that the remote URL has changed with your new repository name.
-    ```shell
-    $ git remote -v
-    # Verify new remote URL
-    > origin  https://{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}/USERNAME/NEW-REPOSITORY-NAME.git (fetch)
-    > origin  https://{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}/USERNAME/NEW-REPOSITORY-NAME.git (push)
-    ```
-
-11. Push your changes to the new repository on {% data variables.product.product_name %}.
-    ```shell
-    git push -u origin BRANCH-NAME
-    ```
