Question

I created an original GitHub repository and committed all my code. I would like to move this directory now into a new directory (not in the repo root directory). I am a bit confused how to tackle this (been through Git Help and threads here).

I’m a bit of a GitHub / Terminal newb 🙂

This is what I am trying to do:

Projects -> github_project

Projects -> Directory -> github_project

thanks!

Answer 1

1. Create a new directory in your repo’s root.
2. Move all other files into that directory (using git mv).
3. Push to GitHub.

Update to address edited question

If you just want to put it in a new directory, then create the new directory and move the repository there.
