"This file is hidden" when uploading folder to GitHub

Question

This is not a .gitignore error. I'm trying to upload a contrib folder that doesn't yet exist in my repository. At first, I tried committing through VScode, which wouldn't detect the file change. Then, I tried to upload via command line with git add ., a commit, and a push. No changes were detected. I deleted the folder, then tried to commit that, but still git doesn't detect any changes. Has anyone experienced this issue?

This folder isn't empty.

@JackTing Probably should've clarified this, but it's not an empty directory — Widdles, May 11 '20 at 17:26
on using this : `git add .`. were you getting any error like this : `fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git` — surajs1n, May 11 '20 at 17:36
@JackTing My bad, it's a `contrib`. And for some reason the copy I had was empty. Sorry. — Widdles, May 11 '20 at 17:36
