I started working on a project recently, then decided to push it up to github. So I did the following:
cd git init git add -A git commit -m \'me
Are there files in the folder? Git doesn't track folders, only files; you can't add an empty folder to a Git repo. However, you can put an empty file in that folder (.gitignore or .blank are common file names) and add those files to the folder.
.gitignore
.blank
