i’m having a folder project containing three sub-folders for config, backend and frontend that need to be pushed into gitlab with the same structure, i succesfully pushed the project but all i’m getting is empty folders in gitlab using theese commands:

->git clone
->git add
->git commit
->git push

i’m assuming it’s because no changes has been done lately(might be a wrong guess). i will appreciate your help if you provide me with a solution or another approach to my situation
