“git add” returning “fatal: outside repository” error

Question

I\'m just entering into the wonderful world of git. I have to submit a bunch of changes that I\'ve made on my program, located in a directory called /var/www/myapp

Answer 1

That's because you are versioning stuff inside /home/mylogin/gitclone and git tracks everything inside that folder. You cannot track other folders outside of this repository.

A solution might be create a submodule, or using a symbolic link using ln -s
