I previously ignored a folder, but now I would like to ignore its content only: How do I remove/modify some entries from my .gitignore file so that git will track them again? I tried updating the gitignore file and adding the folder with git add -f <folder-name>, but it didn't work.
Thank you for your help
What do you mean by ignoring its content only, If you want to track an empty directory?
there is way to make a directory stay (almost) empty (in the repository) is to create a .gitignore file inside that directory that contains these four lines:
# Ignore everything in this directory
*
# Except this file
!.gitignore
