What does this mean?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Symptom\nCheck if locally you have a .git/ sub-folder under that folder.\nCause\nThat would mean the folder (locally) is a nested Git repository, whose tree SHA1 is recorded as a \"gitlink\" (gray folder with straight white arrow)\nWhat you would then see on GitHub is that gitlink: SHA-1 of the object refers to a commit in another repository, represented by an empty folder name. It is a nested Git repository.\nIf you see a folder @ xxx, then it is a submodule entry, meaning your own repository has a .gitmodules in it, which records, in addition of the gitlink, the actual URL of the remote repository.\nIt represents the object name of the commit that the super-project expects the nested submodule's working directory to be at.\nIn both cases (white arrow with a folder name, or white arrow with folder @ xxx, folder name and version), it is a Gitlink represented a nested Git repository: a placeholder for another Git repository, hence an empty folder. But in the second case, that empty folder would be referenced/visible in a special .gitmodules file.\n\nSolution (to remove the white arrow)\nIn order to restore that folder content:\nsubmodule:\nA git clone --recurse-submodules would restore the content of that submodule in your local repository (as opposed to a nested Git repo, where its URL is not recorded, and the content of the folder would remain empty)\nThe white arrow would remain on the remote repository, with folder @ version displaying what SHA1 of the submodule repository is referenced by your project.\nNested Git repository:\nAlternatively, you could, if you don't care about the history of that folder, delete locally its .git subfolder (assuming it is not a submodule, meaning it is not referenced in a .gitmodules file in your main repository), add, commit and push.\nThe white arrow would then disappear, and you would be able to access that folder content on GitHub.\nThen you would need to delete the gitlink entry:\ngit rm --cache client_folder \n# without a trailing slash: \n# not client_folder/ but client_folder\n\nFinally, you can add, commit and push that folder content." } ]
