This is an image of my GitHub page

I am trying to push multiple folders onto GitHub. However after pushing the local repository to GitHub, I can't open the folder "React_Projects" folder. There is an arrow on the folder instead and I can't click on it.

Why can't I open the folder and what am I doing wrong?

That icon is to indicate a git submodule, which has a link to the commit of another git version-controlled project/repository. You can read more about git submodules here.

You can also go to that folder and go to view -> hidden items and click it. check if you see a .git hidden folder. if you do just delete it and push again. that should solve it.

I solved the problem by deleting .git folder inside subfolders (Hidden files and folders). You should have only one .git in the root folder.

I used This link to know how I can delete a .git folder from my subfolders of the project.
