I pushed my newly initialized Ionic Apps to GitHub using the common practice:

git add .
git commit -m ""
git push origin master

But after this I went to check my Ionic project, everything was there except www folder. Can anyone tell me what went wrong?

  • check your `.gitignore` file, this file contains the path of folders/files that shouldn't be on the github. Open this file using `nano .gitignore`, its in the same folder where you initialized git – Abdul Basit Nov 19 '18 at 07:17

There is a file named .gitignore, which limits the content for git 

# Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore when using Git
# http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore

*~
*.sw[mnpcod]
*.log
*.tmp
*.tmp.*
log.txt
*.sublime-project
*.sublime-workspace
.vscode/
npm-debug.log*

.idea/
.ionic/
.sourcemaps/
.sass-cache/
.tmp/
.versions/
coverage/
dist/
node_modules/
tmp/
temp/
platforms/
plugins/
plugins/android.json
plugins/ios.json
www/
$RECYCLE.BIN/

.DS_Store
Thumbs.db
UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate

you could edit the file(delete www/).

  • Thank you for ur answer! I wanna know the best practice here is to upload www to GitHub or not? And also about other folders that not uploaded? (I have a small project where I collaborate with around 3 people so could really use some advice.) Thanks a lot! – demid Nov 19 '18 at 07:22
  • @Danni www folder generated after build, so no need for including it, I use default .gitignore configuration. – navylover Nov 19 '18 at 07:39
  • Usually you don't commit files and folders that you can re-create or are environment specific, e.g. www folder, node_modules folder, config files, temp files, cached files. If you are developing a PWA app, you only have to put www folder to the web server. You can deploy this folder using deployment tools. – Sašo Kovačič Nov 19 '18 at 07:48
  • @SašoKovačič Thanks I understand now! – demid Nov 19 '18 at 07:50
