Move files & folders in github

Question

I need to set up a github for a school project but Im getting lost in the complicated workings of it.

I managed to push the contents of a folder to my repository but since I need to add other files and want to keep some structure I want to take the current files & folder I have and move them into a new directory.

For example, I want to change the following:

Master
  Folder X
  Folder Y
  File Z

To

Master
  Project 1
    Folder X
    Folder Y
    File Z

How do I do this exactly? I've found similar posts with similar explanations but I never understood any of them.. Could some please explain this in an easy fashion? Because I've been trying without success for nearly two hours now.

Answer 1

Move files as you want in your local folder

and after that simply commit all changes in git bash:

git add "Project 1"
git commit -am "change folders layout"

and push changes:

git push
