Yes, the steps you mentioned will work. Note that if you are later on forking the repo to windows, symlinks won't work there. — Anshul Goyal, Feb 12 '14 at 08:39

Yes, the steps you have mentioned will work. (git add s1 s2 readme.txt && git commit -m "commit message" && git push origin master)

Note that if you are later on forking the repo to windows, symlinks won't work there.

PS: You will have to give some commit message, otherwise your current empty string commit message will get the following error
