How to Create Directory in Github

Quick summary

Creating a directory in GitHub requires adding a new file with a folder path in the file name, since GitHub does not support empty folders. You complete the process by writing a commit message and clicking Commit changes to save the new directory to your repository.

Steps

1. In your GitHub repository, click the Add file button.
2. Select Create new file from the dropdown menu.
3. In the Name your file input box, type the full file path including the directory name (e.g., new-folder/README.md).
4. GitHub will automatically create a new-folder directory containing the README.md file.
5. Add any required content to the file in the editor.
6. Click Commit changes to open the commit dialog.
7. Provide a commit message and an optional description for the change.
8. Click Commit changes again to confirm and save to the repository.
9. Confirm the new directory is visible in your repository and click on it to verify.
10. The new directory is now successfully created and visible in your GitHub repository.
