After adding unit tests to my Lottery Stats app, I noticed these were not included in the git repo, since the solution and unit tests folder were actually in the parent folder of where the git repo was saved.
It took a while to figure out, but it's possible to change the location of the git directory.
Instructions:
- Copy and paste the .git hidden folder and 2 other git files, then place in the directory where you want it to be.
- In Git Bash, type 'git status'. There will probably lots of red text with numerous files deleted
- Commit the movement changes with 'git commit -am "commit message"
- 'git push'
- 'git status'
- Then 'git add <files>' to all the files in red from git status that are not currently tracked.
- 'git commit -am "commit message"
- 'git push'
The git directory should now be up to date.
