如何将本地文件夹合并到现有的 git 存储库中？

Question

Alright so I have local folder training , that contains a bunch of scripts. Also, my group has a repo on git, where I should incorporate my folder. I did some research and found the following:

git init
git add <folder1> <folder2> <etc.>
git commit -m "Your message about the commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourUsername/yourRepository.git
git push -u origin master
git push origin master

Unfortunately I don't have the url at the moment, but I already cloned the repository with git clone . What can I do?

Answer 1

You have 2 options for creating local git repository.

1. As you added on your question, you can use git init which creates a local repository on your computer, which you can later push to github server using git remote .

2. The second option, which is the one you used (without knowing) is cloning a project from github using git clone , which import the remote project onto your local machine. Later, after adding to your local project, you can use git add <folder> , git commit -m "adding <folder>" and git push to send the folder to github servers. This is what you should do in your case.
