How to push or upload projects from different folders in one Solution to Github in visual studio 2019?

Question

I have a Solution with original project: Lab_01_ConsoleAppMike. Then in the Solution I added another existing project from different folder: Form_Lab_Mike. And I pushed the Solution to the Github . It just pushed just one project: Lab_01_ConsoleAppMike that located in original project folder. The other project from different folder: Form_Lab_Mike did not load to git.

My question is: How to push or upload projects from different folders in one Solution to Github in visual studio 2019?

Here some photos of this problem: Github Did not load Form_Lab_Mike to the Github

Answer 1

git repository handles files that are located in the same folder (like solution root)

Please ensure that both projects Lab_01_ConsoleAppMike and Form_Lab_Mike are in the one folder and add the Form_Lab_Mike using git add Form_Lab_Mike command.

There is an submodule git feature that can reference to another repository and have files from another repository. However this may work if you have Form_Lab_Mike project uploaded to git hosting already.

You may add submodule using git submodule add <repositoryurl> if you have Form_Lab_Mike hosted by git already.

Answer 2

Yes, Thank you oleksa, moving the other project to the original project's folder and changing the path for the second project helped.

Here is how I did it:

1. Copy the second project folder to the original project's folder:

second project and copy to original project's folder

2. Add existing Item. Choose the second project folder that is already in original project's folder.
