i have some apps and all the apps is in git repo with submodule.i added those repo by this command
git submodule add https://github.com/rahmanshaber/about
i am getting some problems.
1.when i click on the submodule it shows the old commit when it added it. i want the latest commit of the submodule.
2.when i clone the supper reop(where all the apps as submodule).it only downloads the folders .then i put command to download the submodules, i got this error
git submodule update --init --recursive
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
here is the gihub page
i found the both solution.
it will show the commit when it is added .i have to manually update all to latest commit by this command
git submodule foreach git pull origin master
2.i am getting this error because i am not putting the command on the downloaded repo folder.i am putting command in out of it.
thanks.

I'm a beginner to using github and I accidentally added this folder to my github but I cannot find a way to remove this please help.
I tried deleting this folder from my main folder and redoing my git pull and push and in the terminal it said that this file as already been removed. But once I pushed my file again the files that needed to be updated were updated but the folder is still on my github repo.
Try:
git rm -r <folder>
git commit -m "remove folder"
git push
The changes will only be saved when you run the commit command
I was trying to push the folder on my computer to GitHub. So I created a GitHub repository, and use git bash command line. I didn't push the folder successfully on my first try. Then, I deleted the old GitHub repository and created a new one, and tried using the git bash command line to push code again. However, it shows nothing to commit.
Here is an image to better help understand
According to the image, I understand that you have made a commit but your commit was empty and you did not track any file with git beforehand. You typically want to track the files you want to commit. So in this case you could use git add before committing:
git add .
This should track all files in the current folder after which you could commit and push them:
git commit -m "Some message"
git push
When you create a new repository on git, it shows you how to properly upload data
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/youracc/your.git
git push -u origin main
We have a GitHub repository. After I clone that repository I have to do a git init from command line before any Git commands will work. git pull, git checkout, etc. don't work.
As far as I know, git init initializes a new repository. Is it like after cloning I am creating a new repository again?
Here are the commands I'm trying to run:
git clone <url>
git checkout master
You don't have to do git init in this situation¹. As pointed out in the comments, git clone will give you a local repository that you can start using right away.
The problem is that you're not in your repository when you try to run Git commands. By default, git clone puts the repository in a subdirectory with the same name as the repository that was cloned. You must change into that directory to use it:
git clone git#github.com/foo/bar.git
cd bar
Now that you're in bar/ you can interact with your repository.
¹If you do run git init in the parent directory you're in for a confusing time. You'll end up with a repository in the wrong place and an inner repository containing your code. Git's behaviour with nested repositories often doesn't match users' expectations.
After the clone, get into the projects root directory by `cd your-project" then run git commands
In your case what happened was, you cloned the remote repository then didn't change your present working directory to the cloned project, you were in the parent of the cloned repo, since parent repo itself is not a git repository, git complained, you can't run any git commands
I am very new to git and have been facing the problem below for 4-5 days now.
I have a project that I want to share on GitHub and I created a repo (https://github.com/jitix/cfs/tree/master/cfs) for the same.
Here is what I did:
Checked out the code from svn using Eclipse (Juno).
Removed svn related files and 'cleaned' the folder by doing Team > Disconnect.
Created a local git repository (using both via eclipse and cli on different occasions).
Added appropriate .gitignore file.
Committed the code into the local repo (somehow eclipse moves the folder there, but not an issue). Eclipse made me choose the $repo/cfs as the folder where the code is committed. I could not commit it to $repo.
Now I want to push it into GitHub. Tried out the following:
Method 1 (eclipse):
Team > Remote > Push
Use refs/heads/master as both source ref and dest ref and commit.
Method 2 (cli from the $repo/cfs directory):
git remote add origin jitix#https://github.com/jitix/cfs.git
git push -u origin master
Issue:
In both cases, I am getting the cfs directory under the GitHub repo, not at the root (as most projects have). Also, each folder has a .. link to the parent folder in it (something that I have never seen on GitHub, and something that does not happen if I push using svn).
I checked out my code from svn, created a local repo and committed the code into
You need to create the git repository inside the folder that you want to upload. You've created it one level above the cfs folder and then pushed that, you want to run git init while inside cfs and then go from there.
Try in commandline instead using eclipse and follow the steps that GitHub recommends.
Go inside the directory of your project and type:
git init
git commit -a -m "first commit"
git remote add origin jitix#https://github.com/jitix/cfs.git
git push -u origin master
It should work, although is pretty much what you were doing.
I created a github new repository first in github webpage and then I opened Git Bash to upload folders to this repository. I first used $cd f: and $ git clone git#github.com:username/project name.git to create a folder(with a initial .git folder and a README file in it) in f disk. Then, I used $cd f:\project name to switch to the current folder. After that, I copied all my project folders to my project name folder in f disk. Finally, I used the following four lines to upload all my project folders to github:
$git add .
$git remote rm origin
$git remote add origin git#github.com:username/project name.git
$git push -u origin master
After I entered the passphrase, Git Bash just showed everything up-to-date. But I refreshed my github repository page, there is nothing but the initial README file. Could someone tell me what the matter is?
You didn't commit after your git add.
git commit -m "first commit"
That is why git considered there was nothing to push: you HEAD was still the same than your remote origin cloned repo.
See Git Basics:
Your git add updating the staging area (index), but only a git commit will update your git directory.
