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/D

Answer 1

Navigate to the folder where you have your files
if you are on a windows machine you will need to start git bash from which you will get a command line interface then use these commands

git init   //this initializes a .git  repository in your working directory

git remote add origin  // this points to correct repository where files will be uploaded

git add *   // this adds all the files to the initialialized git repository

if you make any changes to the files before merging it to the master you have to commit the changes by executing

git commit -m "applied some changes to the branch"

After this checkout the branch to the master branch
