How to fix "modified content, untracked content" in git?

What I did was to run:

git rm -rf --cached myuntrackedfolder

This tells git to forget about it (since it was being tracked formally).

Then I used:

git add myuntrackedfolder

to add it and I was good to go.

Remove .git from subfolders. This works for me.

Solution involves removing .git/ from the directories with the "modified content, untracked content" label, removing the --cached filed from those directories, and then running git add on those directories once again.

Step-by-step solution:

1. Remove .git/ from log4cplus and ../lib/notification/cppzmq.
2. From parent directory from where you initialized your git repository, run the command: git rm -rf --cached log4cplus/ && git rm -rf --cached ../lib/notifications/cppzmq
3. Add and commit the directories to your branch again.
4. Push to your branch.

Happy coding.
