Git: How to add new files and directories?

If you are working with Git and want to add a new file or directory, follow the following steps

Go to the directory where your file is located.

$ cd directory

$ git add filename

Now you must commit these changes (You can give necessary comments)

$ git commit -m "Adding a new file"

If you want to add a directory, Go to the directory where the directory you want to add is located.

$ cd directory

$ git add directoryname

Now you must commit these changes (You can give necessary comments)

$ git commit -m "Adding a new directory"

Note that the above step will also commit the subdirectories and files present in the directory.
