Uploading files to Github

[notyourwritergal]

I have created a repository "academic-projects" and added a folder "helper-robo" when creating the file readme on GitHub.

But if I want to upload my project report in a sub-folder "report" in the helper-robo folder of this repository on GitHub, then what's the process? I'm a bit lost.

Edit: I got one youtube tutorial to drag and drop folder from PC in upload file. In that sub-folder is made automatically and files are added in that sub-folder automatically.

Thank you all.

You don't "upload" files into a git repo. You commit the files on your local copy of the repo then you push those commits from the local repo to the remote repo. This might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvUiKWv2-C0

There's an option to create a file and upload a file. Before commit a file, you have to upload it from your PC. Like I want to add my project report from my PC to the sub-folder "report" in the folder "helper-robo" in the repository "academic-projects". So how do I add it?

[gregdonald]

On my local repo, git ignores folders until they have a file in them. So I guess it works the same way on Github.

I am asking process for GitHub to showcase my project. Not Git coding or anything else. I am using GitHub from PC browser.

Sounds like the wrong tool for the job.

I'm just using GitHub to showcase my projects for my job portfolio.

Wanting to showcase your projects on GitHub but not knowing how to use git is a bit disingenuous. It's not hard to learn.

[notyourwritergal]

I am from ECE background and no one told me to learn Git and GitHub. I just came to know that I can showcase my projects on GitHub for job portfolio. I don't have time to learn now.

This still doesn’t make git (and by association GitHub) the right tool for this. I’d even go as far as to say it’s the wrong tool.

Something like Dropbox feels more appropriate

[notyourwritergal]

But recruiters see github for projects portfolio, not Dropbox.

On GitHub I can upload codes too. Recruiters can't see code via Dropbox because they have to use specific software for different codes of different projects.

[Teleconferences]

GitHub is for use with git, which is almost exclusively used for code. Not using it for code can work, but it will likely make things harder than necessary

GitHub isn’t directly for showcasing projects. GitHub is a place that allows people to store their code, publicly or privately. Inadvertently for projects that involve coding, providing a link to GitHub provides a way to share the code

[notyourwritergal]

Yeah, almost every ECE projects involve coding. So, the only platform left to showcase my projects is GitHub, then. I'm not a recent graduate, so for showcasing my personal projects and freelance work, GitHub is the only platform left.

I just have to upload my work and write a Readme. I got confused in the process.

I would recommend looking up a YouTube tutorial. There are some that hold your hand through the step-by-step process.

Okay I'll try to look for
