When you    add    something in Git  you add it to the staging area  When you commit  you then commit what   s in the staging area  meaning it   s possible to commit only a sub-set of changed files at any one time   In your case  you want to add the folder to the staging area  and then just do a normal commit     git add foldername   git commit -m  Helpful commit message

To Add a little to the above answers   If you are wanting to commit a folder like the above  git add foldername git commit -m  commit operation    To add the folder you will need to be on the same level as  or above  the folder you are trying to add   For example  App Storage Emails email php  If you are trying to add the  Storage  file but you have been working inside it on the email php document you will not be able to add the  Storage  file unless you have  changed directory   cd      back up to the same level  or higher  as the Storage file itself

You don t  commit the folder  - you add the folder  as you have done  and then simply commit all changes   The command should be   git add foldername git commit -m  commit operation

OR  even better just the ol   drag and drop  the folder  onto your repository opened in git browser    Open your repository in the web portal   you will see the listing of     all your files  If you have just recently created the repo  and initiated with a README  you will only see the README listing  Open your folder which you want to upload  drag and drop on the listing in browser   See the image here
