So I have a git project myproj cloned into my system. When I add individually changed files for commit using git add . it works fine. Now I have added a new folder new-folder inside the project as myproj/app/scripts/new-folder and want the new-folder to add to my repository but git add . or git add --all app/scripts/new-folder or git add --all do not work.

I assume that you try to add an empty folder to your repository and this is currently not supported by git (check the git FAQ).

If this is the case then you find already some answers to your question on SO. For example see here. If you need an "empty" folder there are some "tricks" or "conventions", again see here or here.

If your folder is not empty, then a simple git add new-folder should do the trick. This will also add all files within the folder.

If you do not see the non-empty folder as the result of git status, you could also check if the folder name is not contained in your .gitignore.

Make sure your new folder has something and run below git command

git add * --> it will add all modifyed files and folders

Ex: you need to add new-folder to git you need go myproj then run git add * in Then it will simply include all folders and file in this path --> myproj/app/scripts/new-folder

But your new-folder should have some files
