Pushing an entire folder to local Git repository

Question

I have this local directory /Users/OSX/Documents/Git/ where I initialized as my git by git init.

How can I push an entire library e.g. /Users/OSX/Documents/Project/Test to my git repository?

Answer 1

1. Copy /Users/OSX/Documents/Project/Test into your actual git repo so it can be tracked
2. change directory into /Users/OSX/Documents/Git
3. git add Test to add the Test directory to be tracked by git
4. git commit -m "Added Test to repo" to commit it to the repo
