Git Trying to commit a file restructure, no files have been edited

Question

I have just begun learning the basics of Git.

I have installed Git locally and successfully integrated it to clone repos into my xampps/htdocs .

Now locally , in this repo I have moved all the files into the php_Basics folder. But when I try and commit to sync up with my GitHub repo it says no changes added to commit.

How do I commit the file restructure, and sync it to the GitHub repo?

Answer 2

Note: if the editor for the commit message is finicky, you can start with a shorter commit message in command line:

cd /path/to/local/repo
git add .
git commit -m "my message"
git push -u origin master
