hope you are doint well ! I'm trying to upload my app to GitHub (Using Node.js and client folder for React). As I upload the project, I can't enter the 'client' folder. As you can see in the image, there is a strange icon, and the directory isn't clickable as well. Screenshot of the main directory.

Thanks in advance for everyone who can help

That icon means it's a symlink. The issue is that the React code also has a ".git" folder which makes Github think that this "folder" is another Git project and so, it sym-links it.

To solve your current problem, delete this ".git" folder inside the "client" folder. The ".git" folder is hidden so use ls -a or ls -Hidden to view it. Alternatively, use our file explorer provided by our OS.

You can read about symlinks here. Also, I believe this question is already answered on SO.
