Error using 'git add'

Question

I want to commit the projects I have to my repository and I issued the following command:

$ git add README

I then get the following error:

fatal: pathspec 'README' did not match any files.

Does anyone know what I can do please?

Try to do in your folder.

ls

What do you get ?

It seems that README is not found in your folder.

Yeah, it now works. What I did was that I ran 'git init' in the folder and it works!
