# git does not allow empty directories. # Yet, we need to add this empty directory on git. # To achieve that, we created this .gitignore file, so that the directory will not be empty thus enabling us to commit it. # Since we want all generated files/folders in this directory to be ignored by git, we add a rule for this. * # And then add an exception for this specifc file (so that we can commit it). !.gitignore
