title: Is it possible to create a sub-folder directly through the GitHub web application?
body: <p>Sorry if this is a dumb question.  I have looked over the documentation and my search for directory or folder did not come up except in reference to cloning entire github directories.</p>
  
  <p>I have also looked over this a previous question "<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8775850/how-to-add-files-and-folder-to-github-repo">How do I add files and folders into github repos?</a>", but it does not seem to answer this question.</p>
  
  <p>An example of what I am trying to create can be found at <a href="https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/R" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/R</a> with R being the sub-directory that I would like to create.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you as always for your consideration,
  Francis</p>
