    To say the least we're going to need some more information. – jhpratt Aug 08 '17 at 03:01

That is because ngApp is itself a git repo (that folder included a .git subfolder in it)

So when you git add . in your repo, it just recorded ngApp as a gitlink (a SHA1 reference to the repo) without any URL (as opposed to a submodule, where a .gitmodules would include the url of the remote repo).
When you clone your repo back, that is all you get: a reference without URL.

If karanpepi/mean-stack-crud is supposed to include ngApp folder, go back to your local repo (where you have the ngApp folder) and delete the .git

cd /path/to/local/repo
git rm ngApp
git commit -m "remove gitlink"
rm -Rf ngApp/.git
git add ngApp
git commit -m "Add ngApp content"
git push
