How do I make the content of a folder visible directly in a Git repository?

Question

I don't like having all the content of my repo into a folder. How can I put its content directly at the root?

Here is what the repo looks like:

Answer 1

Currently, the carrot-market folder is at the root of your repository. If you want the content of it to be at the root, you need to:

1. Create a new branch with git checkout -b my_new_branch (doing stuff in a new branch in case something goes wrong)
2. Move the content of carrot-market out of it, at the root of the repo with git mv carrot-market/* .
3. Delete the carrot-market folder
4. Commit all the changes with git commit -a -m "Put files from carrot-market folder directly at the root"
5. Push your changes with git push -u origin my_new_branch (assuming the remote is called origin)

Now, if everything looks the way you want in your new branch, you can merge it to your main branch.
