I added a new subdir within my git respository:
git add feeds
Then commited this and pushed it up to GitHub but it seems as though I've commited a symlink / shortcut but not the actual directory and files within.
See here: http://github.com/G4EGK/RSS-Reader
Any idea what 'feeds' is?
I'd like to remove that and correctly add my files. I tried the following but git status said nothing had changed:
git rm feeds
git add feeds/\*.php
To remove feeds do I run the following?
git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -f feeds' HEAD
Update
Thanks Wes.

$ git submodule feeds
No submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path 'feeds'
git filter-branch didn't remove this submodule from my repo (it was still tracked when I viewed git status)
To remove this mistake I reverted the last two commits (where I tried to add feed classes).

Use auto-detect line length for fgets()
Used the command:
git rebase -i HEAD~3
Then I deleted commits 2 & 3, leaving the top line (my commit on April 2nd), saved my changes (:wq) and forced a push to GitHub.
git push origin +master
Now my GitHub repo is back to where I was before adding feeds.
My original mistake was forgetting to use a slash at the end when adding feeds initially. I should have used
git add feeds/
