I have: 

dirA/dir1
dirA/dir2

dirA has been added and I see it on the browser - when I click "dirA", I see dir1 and dir2, grayed out like I have explained below.
dir1 and dir2, both have more than one sub-directories and files.

git add dir1
git commit -m "..."

I get a message "On branch master, nothing to commit, working directory clean"

I am not sure why it wont go through and I see those as "grayed out" on the GitHub repo via browser.

Can someone help? I saw some similar threads on stackoverflow but they did not help me.

  • I did and I get the same response as above on doing a "git commit". – user2921139 Aug 25 '14 at 05:04
  • is dirA your Git Repository ? – David Leitner Aug 25 '14 at 05:11
  • there is an existing repo where I created a folder called "dirA". I am also migrating from hg to github here. – user2921139 Aug 25 '14 at 05:15
  • then just add dirA to your repo and all the sub-directories and files will be added. If you did this and git says "On branch master, nothing to commit, working directory clean", then you have already commited your code. Maybe try to push your commit to see it on your github server. – David Leitner Aug 25 '14 at 05:19
  • should i have "git push reponame"? where the reponame is the name of your https://....? – user2921139 Aug 25 '14 at 05:23
  • Sorry, but I don't get your question. Maybe you should take a look again on how to use GIT. On the GIT website you can find a really good book (http://git-scm.com/book) which helps you to understand how to use GIT. – David Leitner Aug 25 '14 at 05:35

If you see on GitHub "grayed" folder, followed by a SHA1, those are submodules.

See "Git submodules in github repo"

GitHub submodules

That means they are nested git sub-repos which are referenced by the main repo.
