How to use same folder for multiple git repos?

Question

i have git repo like folloing

xyz
   abc
   def
      sample1.py
      sample2.py

i want to create separate git repo for "def" folder share it as another git repo and also want to use the same code as in my original git (xyz). like

def
   sample1.py
   sample2.py

it is like having two git repo for the same folder. so i will update in single place and push the files in two git repos.

i tried to use the submodule, but i dont want to change any properties of my current project. i don't want to create submodule in original git , i just want to export one of the folder as new git repo.
