Recursively add the entire folder to a repository

Question

I am trying to add a branch to the master branch on GitHub and push a folder onto that branch   The folder structure of the branch looks like - SocialApp SourceCode DevTrunk SocialApp and all the source code files are in the last folder   I am using the following Git commands   git add   git commit -m with the message git push   This is pushing only the first folder  SocialApp  onto GitHub and ignoring the folder SourceCode that is inside the folder  How do I fix this

If you want to add a directory and all the files which are located inside it recursively  Go to the directory where the directory you want to add is located      cd directory   git add directoryname

I ran into this problem that cost me a little time  then remembered that git won t store empty folders   Remember that if you have a folder tree you want stored  put a file in at least the deepest folder of that tree  something like a file called   gitkeep   just to affect storage by git

In my case  there was a  git folder in the subdirectory because I had previously initialized a git repo there  When I added the subdirectory it simply added it as a subproject without adding any of the contained files   I solved the issue by removing the git repository from the subdirectory and then re-adding the folder

Both  git add    and  git add SocialApp  called from top directory should add recursively all directories   Probably you have no files in SocialApp SourceCode DevTrunk SocialApp and this is the reason   Try to call  touch SocialApp SourceCode DevTrunk SocialApp  temporary   and check  gitignore  and then try git add again

I just needed to do this  and I found that you can easily add files in subdirectories  You only need to be on the  quot top directory quot  of the repo  and then run something like    git add   subdir file in subdir txt

Scenario   Solution 1  Ensure your Folder   Sub-folder is not in the  gitignore file  by any chance      Scenario   Solution 2  By default  git add   works recursively      Scenario   Solution 3  git add --all    works smoothly  where git add   doesn t  work    JasonHartley s comment      Scenario   Solution 4  The issue I personally faced was adding Subfolders or Files  which were common between multiple Folders   For example   Folder Subfolder-L1 Subfolder-L2    file12 txt  Folder Subfolder-L1 Subfolder-L2 Subfolder-L3    file123 txt  Folder Subfolder-L1    file1 txt  So Git was recommending me to add git submodule  which I tried but was a pain      Finally what worked for me was    1  git add one file that s at the last end   level of a Folder   For example   git add Folder Subfolder-L1 Subfolder-L2 Subfolder-L3    file123 txt   2  git add --all    now  It ll very swiftly add all the Folders  Subfolders and files
