I downloaded an existing Git Project (instead of cloning it). I have made some changes to the code. Now I want to push the changes to the existing repository.

I saw some examples (Github guide, Stack overflow) but they all assume that remote repository is empty.

In my case, the remote repository is not empty. I want to push just the additional code (diff) on top of a certain branch. Any ideas?

  • Do you have a .git folder?

  • Nope. I downloaded a particular branch of the project. The .git directory is not present in the download.

I think that easiest way to do it would be cloning existing repository,then checking out the same branch, and then copying files changed in non-git directory to your git project directory, and then commit them.

  • I.e. why would you use a fork to eat a soop. Good answer
