Let's say a have a repository named the-odin-project, and inside this repository I have a folder called my-first-rails-app.

Now, in my computer, I have a folder called local-my-first-rails-app which contains all the files I need.

I am trying this:

git remote add origin <SSH URL from above>
git push -u origin master

However, it pushes all the files inside the folder into the repository.

How can I push all those files inside the local-my-first-rails-app (the folder in my comptuer) folder into the folder my-first-rails-app, which is inside the repository the-odin-project?

Does `git add ` before committing and pushing not work? – Sunny Patel Jan 14 '20 at 01:04
@SunnyPatel hey, just tried; it gave this error: `fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git` – kibe Jan 14 '20 at 01:08

Then you need to first clone/fork the repository locally before you copy over the `local-my-first-rails-app` folder, and then perform as my first comment suggests. – Sunny Patel Jan 14 '20 at 01:12
