HI @Yit Yeng

Welcome to the community!

You can create the subfolder/directory using mkdir command.

But the Git will not track the empty directory so to track the directory within the repo you need to add the files into it.

@Yogesh Mudemany thank for the reply.
I think it would be easier if directly create folder at our local checked out folder and follow by commit to the bitbucket. currently I am using source tree as a free git to check in those source code.

I am having similar issue. Quick context:

Using SourceTree

Repo contains a C++ tool and a related Python tool. Repo works fine. C++ app builds fine and changes have been made multiple times.

Now I completed changes to the Python scripts and I added a subfolder (TestDir) for some test files. The test files are a text data file (.csv), a binary data file (.ecg), and a text log file (.log). The folder is not recognized, and the files are not recognized. I'm trying to stage my changes, but I need the test files. in the release.

I have even copied the files to the root folder. They are not recognized there either.

I did get it to recognize the folder by adding a dummy.py file. But I do not want to commit that to make a folder that won't accept the test files.

Not clear how I can get past this. 

Update:

Trying to add the files on BitBucket. I managed to add the csv file with TestDir in its pathname. So partial success. Bitbucket does not seem to have an option for a binary file when adding a new file. Unable to add a file that does not have a file type (extension) that is not in the list.
