I have a folder of code and assets (mostly assets) for a website I’m making that has a lot of files in it. By a lot, I mean literally thousands of files. I want to put the contents of this folder onto Github, however due to the sheer enormity of the folder, it has proved challenging.

I have tried using uploading the files to Github directly, however that didn’t work as it did not add the files from selected folders. I am currently trying to add them in using vscode, by copying the files from the vscode window that has the local files into another vscode window that has the repository open (using the “remote repositories” extension), however that is taking a long time, and I’m not sure if it is working, as the explorer tab is not updating to reflect the changes listed in the source control tab. If someone could tell me how to add my files to the repository, that would be wonderful!
PS: I really don’t understand how to use git on the command line, which is why none of the other answers to similar questions work for me.
