  <p>I want to upload a empty folder to my github repo, I created the folder but...</p>
  
  <pre><code>mkdir foldername
  touch foldername
  git add foldername
  git commit -m 'Added foldername'
  git push origin master
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...always gives me the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code># On branch master
  nothing to commit (working directory clean)
  </code></pre>
