GIT: How to extract a specific folder from a git repository branch, including the folder's related git history only

NOTE: If you want to keep the history for a specific folder in the master branch, just skip steps in lines 3,4,5,6,7

git clone <git-repository-url>
cd <git-repository-dir>

git checkout <branch-name>              # line 3; Checkout the branch of interest
git merge --strategy=ours master        # line 4; keep the content of this branch only and record a merge
git checkout master                     # line 5; Go back to the master branch

Make sure the device's and/or commonized device proprietary-files are updated with the same blobs that you want in your proprietary vendor repo.

Next, to use the kang and section mode we need the switches "-k -s". -k tells extract-files to only kang/pull updated blobs without deleting any blobs. -s tells it to only update ones from a commented section of your proprietary-files.

for example, if i have this in my proprietary-files
