Is it possible to turn subfolders of a GIT repository into its branches?
Going from one branch with folders
-main /Folder_A /Folder_B readme.md To many branches
-main readme.md -A Content of Folder_A -B Content of Folder_B The reason for this is an import from a TFVC repository to a GIT repository.
Is it possible to turn subfolders of a GIT repository into its branches?
Of course, there is a simple command which will do it, it will convert the folder to a branch with all the history
git subtree split ... 
Split the "main" into branches with git subtree split <path> -b <branch> and then add you can push the branch to the remote.
# split the "main repo" git subtree split -P path -b <branch1> 
git subtree split changes the root folder. That is, instead of /FolderA the branch will contain the content of /FolderA at the root.
Will the branches remain separate from now on? If they will remain separate, fell free to create two new branches from main, say A and B. Then, in main, delete the 2 folders, and in each of the separate branches do the necessary adjustments... say, in A
git checkout A git rm readme.md git rm Folder_B git commit -m "Removing unnecessary stuff from this project" This should be good enough. This way you get to keep the history of the common development up to this point in all 3 branches. If you don't want that and you would rather have them separate from the beginning as separate projects, then you should consider using git filter-repo https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo
git mv Folder_A/* . Gonna remove it? The OP showed the folder is required.
