GitHub Client on OS X Commit Fail ("Failed to add file ...)

git, github, github-for-mac, laravel, laravel-4

Solution

In my case, there was already a .git directory from another imported third-party git repository. I had to removed it, anything worked well.

Problem

I am trying to commit changes I have made to my code (as usual) from my GitHub client on my Mac OS X Mavericks machine. I added a new package to my project (it's a Laravel project, and I added the package Rocketeer. I also made a few config changes). I am getting the error: ``` Failed to add file laravel-master/vendor/anahki ``` When I uncheck this file in the commit list, it then goes to another file showing this error. ``` Failed to add file laravel-master/vendor/illumin ``` Any idea what is going on? I have never run into these issues. Thank you. EDIT: I have narrowed this down to two files that are not being allowed to commit (this is for a Laravel project): These are the errors I get when I try to commit these two folders/files: ``` Failed to add file laravel-master/vendor/illuminate/remote/Illuminate/Remote/ to index. Failed to add file laravel-master/vendor/anahkiasen/rocketeer/ to index. ```
