monorepo-extractor

Extracting a project from a monorepo while preserving git history requires using git-filter-repo to filter commits by the target path. This process validates remotes and branches before extraction to ensure a clean, production-ready repository split.

The best way to split a monorepo without losing commit history is using git-filter-repo for deterministic path-based extraction. This approach enforces clean state checks and remote availability validation to prevent unsafe splits during repository migration.

Yes, git-filter-repo is a required core dependency for splitting a subproject into its own repository. You also need git, jq, and curl installed to execute the extraction scripts and validate repository state before migration.

Yes, you can optionally rewrite committer and author information when extracting a subproject from a monorepo. The extraction scripts support optional identity rewriting alongside path-based history filtering using git-filter-repo.

Branch validation during monorepo repository migration checks for a clean working state and confirms remote availability before extracting a target path. This prevents unsafe splits by verifying the specified branch exists prior to running git-filter-repo.

Flexible extraction scripts for monorepo migration bypass strict clean state checks using a force flag, risking the extraction of uncommitted changes. Strict extraction is recommended for production-ready splits to ensure complete history validation and safe team coordination.
