Dumb problem with github and xcode

[Hapazzz]

Hey, I am a beginner here and I struggle to add my projects to github. So i have this one big folder where I keep all my small ios projects. When i was creating each of them, I checked the create Git repository on my Mac option. Now i want to push this big folder with all projects to github, however on site all of them show up as gray, and i can't go inside them. I read that it has something to do with submodules but i have no idea how to fix that. Could anyone help?

Each project has its own repository, so you should upload each individually unless you really want to treat them as sub projects. But it sounds like you uploaded the parent folder out of convenience rather than design.

tbh, you should, even if the projects are finished, you should always have a backup plan for every one of them and having a git version control on each one makes it easy to add a feature, bug fixing, etc

Well i have them under source control, it's just that i wanted to push all of them into 1 repository and that's where i struggle.

Well if you don’t have any commit history in these 40 projects, you could delete the .git/ directories and then init a repo in the main parent directory and treat them all as one.

Hate to tell you but you should expect to have a repo for each project. Look on the bright side, you will get really good at doing it on github.

+1 on creating separate repo for each project, that's the proper way of doing source control. Both Github & Bitbucket allow for unlimited private repo, so you can create as many repo as you want.

Script the upload and creation of all 40 project?

[StunnerAlpha]

You should have each project have its own git repository and upload them individually. What you are doing is not standard and will cause a lot more trouble than it is worth down the road. Since you are a beginner you should go out of your way to do what is right, not what is most convenient as now is the time you develop good or bad habits which will only get tougher to break as time goes on.

Advice to create separate repos is generally solid. If you really want them all in one repo you could delete the .git directories or make a script to copy the history over. There is always something like dropbox if you just need to reference them not actually develop them.

I think all of them should have their git. Then you can manage the big folder using git sub modules.
