How can I upload x86 and x64 directories to github?

Question

HelloBa

I uploaded my project to github. However, I created a Lib folder in the directory where the project file is located. There are x86 and x64 folders in it. This directory is not uploaded to the repository. How can I include this directory and its subdirectories?

Thanks.

Hi @fatih uyanık , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

You'll need to do the following:

1. Remove any existing .gitignore rules that exclude the Lib directory:
   • Open the .gitignore file located in the root directory of your project.
   • Check for any rules that might exclude the Lib directory or its subdirectories. For example, a rule like Lib/ or x86/ would cause those folders to be ignored.
   • If such rules exist, either remove them or modify them as needed.
2. Add the Lib directory and its contents to Git:
   • If the Lib directory was previously ignored, you might need to force add it to Git.
   • Open your terminal or Git Bash in the root directory of your project and run the following command:

          git add -f Lib/
     

     The -f flag forces Git to include files that are normally ignored by .gitignore.
3. Commit the changes:
   • After adding the Lib directory, commit the changes:

          git commit -m "Include Lib directory and its subdirectories"
     

4. Push the changes to your GitHub repository:
   • Finally, push the changes to your GitHub repository:

          git push origin main
     

     Replace main with the name of your branch if it's different.

This should include the Lib directory and its subdirectories in your GitHub repository.Best Regards,

Jiale
