Problem with add folder to a subdirectory
Hi,
I am new to git and i have a problem. I clone repo from a collaborator and i want to add some folder to a subdirectory.
When i add a folder to the root dir ($ git add TestFolder) i have no problem but when i try to put it in a different subdirectory like ($ git add examples/TestFolder) then with the command ($ git status) i tsake no result (nothing to commit (working directory clean)).
Thanks for your reply

I suspect that you're trying to add an empty directory. Git tracks content, not individual files and directories- so try adding some content (read: a file), and then git-add'ing that.

I put a content in the folder (test.txt file) but i there is no result. The strange thing is that when i add this in the root directory (where the git is) it recognize it but in a subdirection no.
Unless I've misunderstood something, I'm not able to replicate your issue. Kindly go through some introductory material on Git.
$ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/foo/.git/ $ mkdir -p 1/2 $ touch 1/2/test.txt $ git add 1/2 $ git status # On branch master # # Initial commit # # Changes to be committed: # (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: 1/2/test.txt #

Are you sure in the root directory, you can add an empty directory to the index? I don't think so. See:
