How to split a repository's subdirectories into their own repo

Okay, so you made a mistake. You thought you should bundle a bunch of your code into a single repository because these disparate apps shared a few libraries and now you're stuck with a swollen monster repo that is a nightmare to deploy from.

(At least... I made this mistake.)

Anyway. You want to split those into multiple repositories and, in the process, regain a shred of your sanity. Let's say you have this repository structure:

Installing the WorkFlowy appimage as a desktop app

WorkFlowy's Linux desktop app is a .AppImage file. The file runs fine upon clicking after a quick:

chmod a+x WorkFlowy-x86_64.AppImage

However, I want to be able to launch it as desktop app; I don't want to have to click it. The docs suggest using appimaged or AppImageKit. I:

  1. Moved WorkFlowy-x86_64.AppImage into ~/Applications (since appimaged only monitors certain directories).
  2. Downloaded the latest appimaged release from https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/releases/tag/continuous. On my system, this is:
    • appimaged-860-x86_64.AppImage the main application
  • appimaged-860-x86_64.AppImage.zsync, the corresponding zsync file for delta updates
