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.
