How can I add existing files to a Gitkraken repository?

This is the same question but still unresolved: Add files to local repository in GitKraken

I am new to gitkraken. I had initialized a repository with just a readme file. But now I have to also include the python files in the same folder into the repository. I am unable to figure out how to do this on git kraken. I understand I can create new file within gitkraken but not sure how to add existing files into the repository.

Solution

  • First, GitKraken will just reflect your repository, so nothing prevents you to use regular git commands, as documented by GitKraken

    Second, you can make a commit in GitKraken, which involves first staging the existing files:

    stage

    The Unstaged Files section of the GitKraken GUI should reflect the files you have created / added in your repository folder. (myproject, not myproject/.git: do not add anything in the .git subfolder))
