Git是否可以在存储库中的特定文件夹中提交文件？

Question

I'm new with git and I'm trying to use JGit in a java application. I would like to know if Git has a 'commmit of files into a specific directory' or is Git only based on the working tree where files are stored?

For example, let's say I have a file saved in C:/tmp/myfile.docx. Is it possible to tell Git to store it in the repository as /myProject/myfile.docx ?

Thank you :)

That is not possible. Think of your Git repository as a time machine for a tree of directories. You can only add files to git that are inside that directory tree. And don't try to make C:\\ a Git repository... :)

So, let's say your Git repository resides at C:\\tmp\\myRepo . To add your file to the repository you'd do this:

1. move myfile.docx to C:\\tmp\\myRepo
2. add the file to Git: (using Unix style command line) cd C:/tmp/myRepo && git add -A
3. create a commit: git commit -am "added myfile.docx"
