can't add create react app content to repo

I am trying to create react app and i have a nodejs (express) backend

here is a link to the repo as you can see in the repo the file client is empty

and I can't add (stage) the client file when I do git add. then git status I get the following message

On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
  (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in
submodules)
    modified:   client (modified content, untracked content)
    modified:   package.json

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

I tried git add . , git add client but nothing works i can't push the client file to github

ls -all returns this :

total 55

Try execute

git rm -rf --cached client

and

git add client

in the client directory.
