Git subfolder upload issue

so I am adding a folder as a repo in github desktop mac app and there is a sub folder and it never gets uploaded, I made a repo out of the subfolder previously in a different folder but I copied the contents into a new folder where I am trying to make a new repo and yet I still can not upload the folder for some reason

It sounds like the subfolder might be ignored by Git or is still linked to the previous repository. Here are some things to check and try: ### 1. **Check for a `.git` Folder Inside the Subfolder** If the subfolder was previously a Git repo, it might still contain a hidden `.git` directory, making it a separate repository. To check: - Open **Terminal** and navigate to the subfolder: ```sh cd /path/to/main/repo/subfolder ``` - Run: ```sh ls -la ``` - If you see a `.git` directory inside the subfolder, delete it: ```sh rm -rf .git ``` Now try adding and committing in GitHub Desktop again. ### 2. **Check `.gitignore`** If your main repository has a `.gitignore` file, it might be excluding the subfolder. In **Terminal**, navigate to your repo and check: ```sh cat .gitignore ``` If the subfolder or a pattern like `*` is in `.gitignore`, remove or modify the rule. ### 3. **Manually Add the Folder** In GitHub Desktop: - Go to **Repository** > **Show in Finder**. - Drag the subfolder into GitHub Desktop and see if it appears as an uncommitted change. ### 4. **Force Add the Folder** If it's still ignored, try manually adding it in **Terminal**: ```sh cd /path/to/main/repo git add -f subfolder/ git commit -m "Manually adding subfolder" git push origin main ``` Let me know if this helps or if you get an error! 🚀
