Hi, Henrik et al.:


 ????? What's your favorite documentation on how to make two GitHub 
projects from one containing two packages?


 ????? Currently, "github.com/sbgraves237/Ecdat" consists primarily of a 
directory "pkg" with subdirectories "Ecdat" and "Ecfun" containing the 
two packages.? I need to know how to do the following:


 ??? ??????? 1.? Extract "github.com/sbgraves237/Ecdat/pkg/Ecfun" to 
create? "github.com/sbgraves237/Ecfun".


 ???? ??????? 2.? Elevate "github.com/sbgraves237/Ecdat/pkg/Ecdat" to 
"github.com/sbgraves237/Ecdat", discarding the other files in the 
original "github.com/sbgraves237/Ecdat/".


 ????? This sounds like it could be accomplished relatively easily by 
someone with sufficient understanding of "git" and GitHub.? I could use 
suggestions on how to do this -- or at least on how to find 
documentation on how to do this.


 ????? Thanks,
 ????? Spencer
