I'm trying to add a ruby rails file to my repository in gitlab but it somehow wouldn't allow me to add the file saying that my file does not have commit checked out.
I've tried git pull, making the the file again and git adding but still wont work
error: '172069/08_lab_routes_controllers_views_172069_172188-Copy/adventure_game/' does not have a commit checked out fatal: adding files failed
If you have a subdirectory with a .git directory and try to git add . you will see this message.
.git
git add .
This can happen if you have a git repo and then create/clone another repo in a subdirectory under that repo.
