Content of create-react-app is not pushed in github

Question

I pushed go & react codes to github.

Go codes are successfully commited but React codes are not.

React content is created by create-react-app.

└ client
   └ React content made by create-react-app

Here is target github

I trid following command, but not solved.

error: the following file has staged content different from both the
file and the HEAD:
    client
(use -f to force removal)
$ git rm --cached client -f
rm 'client'

Also i tried following command, but issue is not solved

$ rm -rf client/.git

contents of client folder is to be commited in github. but actually not committed.

The problem is both directories are git repositories in which case you would have a submodule.
You can see a submodule is added by this commit Subproject commit 395ee793f20a65d483a50cb1d11b67e7f80729d0.
To remove git submodule but keep files follow this instructions.

mv client subfolder_tmp
git submodule deinit client
git rm --cached client
mv subfolder_tmp client
git add client

I might be a bit too late to come to this post. But in case anyone still wondering how to fix it. Here is what worked for me:

// moving to your client folder or whatever 
// the react-app folder is called
cd client
// remove the git in this folder
rm -rf client/.git

Now you go back to you root directory and do the add, commit, and push. You should have all your react-app folder pushed to the repository you want to.
