Detaching subdirectory into it's own GIT repository

OSX
  1. Move folder to it’s own branch
git subtree split -P name-of-folder -b name-of-new-branch

git checkout new-repository-url

git pull path-to-big-repository name-of-new-branch

diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk2 1 "Free Space" "unused" "100%"
sudo dd if=destination.img.dmg of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m
diskutil eject /dev/disk2
