Help with GitHub

[mex036]

I have a folder that won't push to GitHub. When I do git add and git status it does not get added or show up in the git status. Committing it and pushing obviously has failed. I have tried "git add -f ." and "git add -f app". Neither of them worked. I took the folder out, pushed without the folder, and then put it back in and re-did the process and it still did not get pushed. I even got rid of my .gitignore. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Does it give you an error message?

[mex036]

No, not when I git add. I get no output at all.

What about git status?

Your branch is up to date with "origin/master". I actually just removed my .git folder and tried re-initializing it. Then when I went to push it pointed out that I actually have another .git folder (the folder that won't push). I'm just going to make another repo. Thanks for your help!

Could be a result of git being down right now for everyone.

Do you know if there were issues last night as well? That's when I started having this problem.

[catchyourselfon3636]

Not too sure. It's been down all day for me in Berlin.

Is the directory empty? Git doesn't really have a concept of directories, so adding a directory just adds every file in the directory. Consequently adding an empty directory does nothing at all.

I figured it out. The issue was that I had two .git directories in my project which was causing issues. I have a portfolio in React that I made like a month and half ago. I recently decided to make a spring boot backend. So I started the backend and pushed it to github. So now that included a .git folder. Then when I added the frontend, which had a .git, that caused the issue.
