Answer 1

I don't know whenever I use "/" in repository name it is replaced by "-" maybe github changed method of creating folders.

So I'm going to tell you what I did to create a empty folder and to add files.

1. Click on New
2. enter your folder name and nothing else
3. Click on "Add a README file"
4. Click "Create Repository"
5. Now clone the folder you created.
6. Add files or folders in the local repo
7. Commit changes.
8. And there you go.
