Pushing Files to a particular directory of a Github Repository using Git Bash/Terminal

I have an existing repository in Github. But how do I commit changes and push the files to a particular directory in that repository?

Note - I've done all the steps from git remote add origin to 'git commit' to 'git push` but, how do I select that particular directory I want to push changes into the repository from the terminal.

PS - I want to push changes from my local [which is not in my project directory] to a particular existing Directory of the Repository.

Suppose I've created some files in a temp local directory [which is not in my project directory for some reasons] and I wanna push the files inside the temp folder to a pre-existing directory of my repository using git remote add. I

First, git remote add is just to declare a remote URL: it does not add or push any file.

Second, simply copy those file in the local repository, with the right folder.
Then:

git add theRightFolder
git commit -m "Add theRightFolder content"
git push -u origin master

If that folder includes other files you do not want to push, you will need to git add only the files you have copied

git add theRightFolder/file1
...
git add theRightFolder/filen

git commit -m "Add some files in theRightFolder"
git push -u origin master
