Git push to specific folder on remote repository
Solution 1
That's not how Git works. You have one repository called VSTS_folder
. Whoever created that repo didn't understand what a Git repository is.
You need to clone the repository, which will give you a copy of the entire repo. Then you can add additional code to it.
If all of these folders contain totally independent projects that share nothing between them, then you should consider splitting them into separate repos.
You would also hugely benefit for sitting down and reading a Git tutorial to get a better understanding of these concepts.
Solution 2
git add .\<folder name>
git push
That should be all you need. I just did it
Solution 3
For Git version control system, it push changes to remote repo by branches (not by folders as svn VCS).
So you need to move the local stuff into blackFolder
, and pull changes from remote repo (VSTS git repo), and finally push the branch into VSTS git repo.
Detail steps as below:
# In your local git repo
rm -Rf .git #it's uncessary to commit at first in your local repo
git init
git remote add origin https://helloworld.visualstudio.com/VSTS_folder/_git/VSTS_folder -f
mkdir blackFolder
mv * blackFolder
mv .gitignore blackFolder
git pull origin master
git add .
git commit -m 'add local stuff to remote repo blackFolder'
git push -u origin master
Now the local stuff are push to the VSTS git repo under blackFolder
.

How can I push to specific folder in the remote repository? I have the following structure on my local C drive:
myfolder/ .git folder1 folder2 folder3 folder4 .gitignore
I executed
git init
command in this folder. After that I didgit add .
and thengit commit -m "My first commit"
Now I would like to push it to the VSTS remote repository that contains similar structure:https://helloworld.visualstudio.com/VSTS_folder/_git/VSTS_folder
VSTS_folder/ greenFolder redFolder blueFolder blackFolder yellowFolder .gitignore README.md
where VSTS_folder is the name of the repository. greenFolder, redFolder and yellowFolder have some code in there already. What I would like to do is to push my local stuff to blackFolder remote folder which is empty. I'm trying to avoid messing with the repo and pushing my stuff to the root. I was using
git remote add origin https://helloworld.visualstudio.com/VSTS_folder/_git/VSTS_folder/blackFolder
but that didn't work. What's the appropriate git command for achieving this? Thanks. -

Daniel Mann over 3 years@Chandni That is a totally unrelated question. If you have a new question, please ask a new question.
