Q: How to add folders using Git Bash and GitHub? In my existing local repo, I did git clone from a GitHub repo, and then I have a new folder downloaded. Then I did git add * since I read here that this will add not only files but also folders. After that, I did the normal flow of commit and push. However, I can only see the files pushed onto Bitbucket, with no folders...even though the folder I downloaded is sitting in my repo locally. When I do git status, I get this message:
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
nothing to commit, working tree clean

Help is appreciated.   

Share output of git log as per request in below comments:

A: As discussed over the chat, Your requirement is to add the folder from another repo. Say you want to add repoA inside repoB, then all you need is to use git submodule
Possible help: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules
http://schacon.github.io/git/user-manual.html#submodules

A: Git does not care about folders/directories. You don't see them in the log because they are not there. That is why people commit .gitkeep file in otherwise empty directory when an empty directory is desired.
