I'm very new to Github and I'm trying to create a new repository that contains 2 folders ("server" and "utalk").
The "utalk" folder is my front-end and the "server" folder is my backend.
But when I use Github Desktop, it seems I only push the server folder and cant push the utalk folder.
I don't know how to push all my folders.
my Project Folder:
my GitHub repository:
First, in your file explorer, enable View hidden files
Then check if you see a .git in the utalk folder. That would make it a nested git repository, mostly ignored by your parent folder.
Switch to command-line and do a git status in utalk-project to know more about your current situation.

I created a new repository on GitHub and then cloned it with my local folder using GitHub Desktop. I did not use ANY commands using a Command Prompt to push or pull.
I then moved another folder with 3 files including an index.html into this local folder which is now synced with the GitHub. I can see this folder and the 3 files when I log into GitHub online.
I have also got a public website address for the repository and I have selected a default theme on it. The default this works when I browse to it.
But I can not get to the subfolder which holds index.html like below:
https://myname.github.io/Projects/Project1/
Here "Projects" is the repository which is synced with a local folder and "Project1" is a subfolder containing the index.html which I want to access online.
Please help. Thanks.
I'm new at GitHub and I'm having this issue: I created three private repositories for my project, all fine. On the fourth one, for some reason GitHub desktop included the node_modules folder (its an angular cli app), so I deleted the repository from GitHub.com and from GitHub desktop. When I try to recreate it, it is "cached" on my Mac, even if I copy everything to another folder, and it tries to upload the node_module files.
I also changed the name of the repository, copied all the files but node_modules folder to another folder. Same happens over and over.
I couldn't find anything on internet about this. Sorry if its a newbie question.
You could try to delete the git folder that it's being hidden by default.
Go to in file explore -Views- select "Hidden Items" and try to remove the git folder from here. After that set up your .gitignore file and pass node_modules before you use git init
Use this in your terminal, if you are using VS Code use this in the same folder you are having the problem : git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore'
I am pretty new to GitHub and I have lots of problems working with that. I have created a repository in my GitHub account and then a folder named "Data Set" in the repository. Now i want to push a zip file to this folder. what should I do? i have Git Bash on my windows too.
I am new to git, so I used git to put my ionic project folder into local repository then push it, it did not appear as the normal repository I saw.
It then becomes submodule, so I cloned the repository, then the folder became empty, then I could not find my file but a empty folder.
Can someone tell me how to find my missing file and why I tried to push a simple folder then it becomes submodule?
put my ionic project folder into local repository then push it, it didn't appear as the normal repository I saw , It becomes submodule
That is because your ionic project folder already included its own .git/ subfolder.
Once copied into your local repo (which also has its own .git/ subfolder), the ionic project folder is considered as a nested repository, and only a gitlink (reference to the root tree SHA1 of ionic/) is recorded and pushed by your local repository.
Hence the "submodule-like" empty folder on the remote side.
If you don't care about the history of that project, you could simply copy its files into your local repo, add, commit and push.
I am new to git. I downloaded the desktop version (for Windows). I dragged the folder containing my project into the big window, "Get started by adding a repository." All the files showed up in the left window. Then I clicked on "Publish Repository". It then shows 143 files have changed, with 0 unsynced.
But when I go to my account on the git website, the repository is empty. The only files in it are .gitattributes and .gitignore. The whole idea here is that I want to share this project with other people.
Help out a git newbie and explain how I get the entire solution into git?
Thanks!
As you already have the remote repository at GitHub, you should use the clone option first to clone your repository locally.
This will create a folder (your repository clone) on the default location containing those two files.
Then you can copy your project files to this folder and try to sync again.
