Expo project can't be tracked by git inside github repository

We are trying to initialize an expo project, however, our folder is recognized as a file by git and thus we are having commit errors. Our project structure is as follows

Root(recognized by git)>
  ExpoProject(tracked by git but wont be commited)>
  README.txt

Run rm -rf .git inside the expo folder.

Expo adds a .git file to the project folder 'so you do not have to' and that's what causes the problem.

The issue you're having likely has to do with initializing your expo project inside of an existing git repository, which means that it is being tracked as a sub-repository (you don't want this). Try doing expo init 'project name' and then committing that to github.
