how to add folder in github repository' code example

Example 1: how to create folder in github

You cannot create an empty folder and then add files to that folder, 
but rather creation of a folder must happen together with adding of 
at least a single file. On GitHub you can do it this way:

    Go to the folder inside which you want to create another folder
    Click on New file
    On the text field for the file name, first write the folder 
    	name you want to create
    Then type /. This creates a folder
    You can add more folders similarly
    Finally, give the new file a name 
    	(for example, .gitkeep which is conventionally used 
        	to make Git track otherwise empty folders; it is 
            	not a Git feature though)
    Finally, click Commit new file.

Example 2: add folder to github command line

# 1) Create a new repository on GitHub. 
# To avoid errors, do not initialize the new repository with README, license, or gitignore files. You can add these files after your project has been pushed to GitHub.

# 2) Open Terminal.
# 3) Change the current working directory to your local project.
# 4) Initialize the local directory as a Git repository.
$ git init 

# 5) Add the files in your new local repository. 
# This stages them for the first commit.
$ git add .

# 6)  Adds the files in the local repository and stages them for commit. 
# To unstage a file, use 'git reset HEAD YOUR-FILE'.
# Commit the files that you've staged in your local repository.
$ git commit -m "First commit"

# 7) Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote 
# repository. 
# To remove this commit and modify the file, use 'git reset --soft HEAD~1' and 
# commit and add the file again.

# 8) At the top of your GitHub repository's Quick Setup page, click  to copy 
# the remote repository URL.

# 9) Copy remote repository URL field
# 10) In Terminal, add the URL for the remote repository where your local repository will be pushed.
$ git remote add origin **remote repository URL**
# Sets the new remote
$ git remote -v
# Verifies the new remote URL

# 11) Push the changes in your local repository to GitHub.
$ git push -u origin main
# Pushes the changes in your local repository up to the remote repository you specified as the origin

Example 3: github add directory to repository

git init
git add <folder1> <folder2> <etc.>
