How do I add an entire folder to a Git repository?

The easiest way to add all files to your Git repository is to use the “git add” command followed by the “-A” option for “all”. In this case, the new (or untracked), deleted and modified files will be added to your Git staging area.

This is Web GUI of a GitHub repository:

Drag and drop your folder to the above area. When you upload too much folder/files, GitHub will notice you:

Yowza, that’s a lot of files. Try again with fewer than 100 files.

and add commit message

And press button Commit changes is the last step.

You can also use the command line, Change directory where your folder is located then type the following :

git init git add <folder1> <folder2> <etc.> git commit -m "Your message about the commit" git remote add origin https://github.com/yourUsername/yourRepository.git git push -u origin master git push origin master
