User cloned repository from remote git and now wants to add directories to local git. it will report error that git repo already exists
Solution
Remove all .git directories before adding new git repo information
find . \( -name ".git" -o -name ".gitignore" -o -name ".gitmodules" -o -name ".gitattributes" \) -exec rm -rf -- {} +
