From https://stackoverflow.com/a/1260982/8810271

1. Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
2. Stage the .gitmodules changes:
   git add .gitmodules
3. Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
4. Remove the submodule files from the working tree and index:
   git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
5. Remove the submodule's .git directory:
   rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule
6. Commit the changes:
   git commit -m "Removed submodule <name>"
7. Delete the now untracked submodule files:
   rm -rf path_to_submodule

Split repo

Single File

From https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39479154/how-can-i-split-a-single-file-from-a-git-repo-into-a-new-repo
Use git fast-export.

First, you export the history of the file to a fast-import stream. Make sure you do this on the master branch.

cd oldrepo
git fast-export HEAD -- MyFile.ext >../myfile.fi

Then you create a new repo and import.

cd ..
mkdir newrepo
cd newrepo
git init
git fast-import <../myfile.fi
git checkout

Sub Directory

git filter-branch -f --prune-empty --subdirectory-filter  path/to/module
