So if you had a folder called "myproject", and inside that folder you had three other folders, and inside those folders you had two folders and so on, All you would have to do is navigate to that top-level "myproject" directory, and do git init.
Then everything inside of that folder would "be seen by git" meaning that they could be potentially staged and committed to the repository.
