How to add my current project to an already existing GitHub repository

Question

I\'m very new to Git. I\'ve been searching for an answer, but I couldn\'t find one.

In my computer I have a project folder like this:

project_a
--some_fo         


        

Answer 1

Assume that I would like to add FreeRTOS repository, which URL is https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel.git, into my repository, example URL is https://github.com/username/example as a submodule

git submodule add https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel.git
git add .
git commit -m 'add a submodule'
git push

To clone using HTTPS:

git clone https://github.com/username/example.git --recurse-submodules

Using SSH:

git clone git@github.com:username/example.git --recurse-submodules

If you have downloaded the repo without using the --recurse-submodules argument, you need to run:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Answer 2

All the answers above seems to guide about creating a new repository in git but the question is about adding a folder to existing repo. To do that following steps can be followed.

• Clone your existing repo using following command: git clone https://github.com/company/our_repo.git
• Manually take your project folder to the desired location i.e. trunk/bin
• Now commit and then push in the repo using the commands: git commit -m "message" and git push origin master

Answer 3

I had more luck with navigating in my terminal to the directory I wanted to add to the repository, then (assuming you're working on a branch called master):

    git init
    git add .
    git commit -m "my commit"
    git remote add origin <remote repository URL>
    git push origin master

Here's a link to an article explaining how to do it in more detail: https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line/

Note that you won't be able to run the "git add ." line if the directory in question is open.

Answer 4

1. first create a git repostry.
2. second open git bash in  existing or uploading project.
3. perform git init 
4. git add .
5. git commit -m "print message"
6. git remote add github<repostry url>
7. git remote -v
8. git push github master

OR

git push origin master

if you get any error, you may use it

git push -f origin master

Answer 5

I think it is very preferable if you first pull the existing Github repo on the local and then add the new files to the Github repo

Open your Terminal, access to this folder and write:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "my commit"
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:username/repo.git
git push origin master
