Creating new folders in GitHub repository via the browser

If you look into the Github repository online you will see that there is no direct method to create a folder. You can create a file or even upload it directly from the browser, but there seems to be no way to create a directory.

However, I have found that to make a new folder in the GitHub repository from the web browser interface, there exists a way Actually, it's just the same as creating a new file.

Steps:

1. Go to create a file

2. give the name of the folder that you want to create eg:

data/

It will create a folder named 'data'

3. If you want another nested folder then give another name eg.

airport-codes/

It will create another directory 'airport-codes' in 'data'

4. Next, create a file there. This can even be a temporary file that you can subsequently delete if you do not want it.

To see this in action refer:
