Github does not detect a new folder

I am working on a Windows 8 laptop with a github client connected to my remote git bitpack. I recently created a mobile version of my site localhost / WEBSITENAME / mobile

worked in localhost / WEBSITENAME now in loaclhost / WEBSITENAME / mobile

Now github does not detect a new folder for mobile devices, so I can’t click on my mobile files. Any help would be great as I have another developer waiting for these files.

If your directory structure looks like this:

/------WebsiteName/ | |-----------/Mobile/

Then make sure you are in the WebsiteName directory, then run git status

If you still get the same error, run the following command:

 git init git status //here you should see the mobile folder and its files git add --all git commit -am "committing" git push --all

Git will ignore empty folders. Make sure that at least one file is present in the new folder in the Git repository, otherwise you cannot add it.

In this case, you should check if you have placed /mobile in your .gitignore file. Or the solution provided by @meda will work.

Make sure the folder does not have a .gitignore file that locks the specific folder you are trying to add, or the file or its extension
