My github repo is https://github.com/deianp17/google-homepage.git.
I want to add a directory (that has more directories in it) to git. I did a "git add ." and then "git commit" and "git push" but it didn't push all the directories. Now everytime I use "git commit" to try and do it again I get this:
Changes not staged for commit: modified: learn_ruby (modified content, untracked content)
no changes added to commit
As Sam Varshavchik said above: git does not track directoies. So you can't add empty directories into your repo.
But there is a trick: with each empty directory you want to keep, add an empty file (.gittrack or .keepthis or any name you like. Just make sure that directory you want to keep has at least one file). Git will track that file and add a directory for you.
fatal: remote error: You can't push to git://github.com/alexch/learn_ruby.git Use https://github.com/alexch/learn_ruby.git and then if i use the second link it says "remote: Permission to alexch/learn_ruby.git denied to deianp17. fatal: unable to access 'github.com/alexch/learn_ruby.git': The requested URL returned error: 403 "
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/alexch/learn_ruby.git then git push -u origin master If this commend didn't help you, you can create a new question with more details. I thinks.git tracks files, not directories. git automatically creates a directory when it starts tracking a file in the directory.
So, you don't need to worry about creating directories with git. Just mkdir them, mkdir any additional subdirectories that are needed, and git add the new files in the new directories and subdirectories.
The subsequent commit is going to add the files from the subdirectories into the git repository. Subsequently, checking out the repository will recreate the subdirectories, before extracting their contents from the git repository.
