How to add folders with layouts to a repository on gitHub?

Question

git

Good laziness. I have a github account. I created a repository on it and named it makests.
How do I add layout FOLDERS to this repository?
I usually did this:
1) cd /home/user/makets/test-makets
2)git init
3)git add .
4)git commit -m "The "footer" block has been added
5)git push https://github.com/test-user/makets master
Everything works here, but files and subfolders are added (index.html, style.css) And I need to add the test-makets folder itself

Answer 1

Create a repository one level up, in /home/user/makets

Answer 2

git add -A
git commit -a -m"comment"
git push
git status
