How to create folder in github repository?

You cannot create an empty folder and then add files to that folder, but rather creation of a folder must happen together with adding of at least a single file. On github you can do it this way:

• go to the folder inside which you want to create another folder
• click on New file
• on the text field for the file name, first write the folder name you want to create
• then type /. This creates a folder
• you can add more folders similarly
• finally, give the new file a name, (eg. .gitkeep which is conventionally used to make git track otherwise empty folders, not a git feature though)
• finally click Commit new file.
