Question

I did git add . in root directory, after that I did

git commit -m "abc"

itd…
after that, in my repo I did not find directories like /src /lib etc…

What have I done wrong?

Git is only tracking files. So if the folders src/ and lib/ are empty, then they won’t be added to the repo.

If you want to track them anyway, what I usually do is adding an empty file called .keep. You can also use a .gitignore file for folders containing cache data or generated files you don’t want to track but for which you want to keep the directory in the repo.

Also, the git add flag to add every change in you repo is git add -A. This will stage every change (deleted, added and changed files).
