Pushing multiple folders to Git

Question

I am quite new to github. I worked on a project which has multiple folders. Now when I try to push the local repo to github, only the files in the root are getting pushed (Not the files inside folders).

I am following these commands

git add .
git commit -m "message"
git push -u origin master

Can someone point out the actual commands

EDIT: Sample Folder Structure

root
/Folder1/File1.txt
/Folder1/File2.txt
/Folder1/File3.txt
/Folder1/SubFolder1/File.txt
/Folder2/File1.txt
/Folder2/File2.txt
/Folder2/File3.txt
/Folder3/SubFolder1/File.txt
/README
/index.php

That is not possible since you are using git add .. Give sample folder structure and output of git status — manojlds

Can you add the output of git status before and after you run the git add, like this... git status git add . git status ? — Bob Gilmore

Also to add to the other guys - does git push give an error? — Adrian Cornish

Does the result of commit show the files inside the sub directories? — rjv

Try using git add -A. This should add everything including those files that are untracked.

delete the old .git then do git init then git add -A if this didnt work check .gitignore by doing git status --ignore
