github - Adding a file to branch

Question

Hi there,

So I'm following thiese instructions:http://mark-kirby.co.uk/tag/osx/ and so far i've cloned the project I want to work on and created a branch.

Now I wish to add files that exist in another folder on my machine... but I keep getting the following:

fatal: pathspec 'Users/mic/OnePageCRMVC/MKTsite25-05/index.html' did not match any files

However, the file definitely does exist... Am I trying to do something that is not allowed and the error message is throwing me off?

Regards, Fiona

You cannot add them automagically. You should copy the files into the git repo manually, then do a normal add/commit.
