Message-ID: <20120403173111.5329d7ed@shiva.selfip.org> Hello, Please consider the following folder structure ` ` ` ` foo/ foo/dir1/file1 foo/dir2/file2 foo/dir2/file3 ` ` ` ` ` ` ` I like to add the folder structure in a way that only foo/dir1/file1 is added to the git. foo/dir2 and foo/dir3 should be added to the git also to show the directory structure and not the contents of those folder. It is easy in SVN by --non-recursive switch, but how can I do this in git with .gitignore ? Thanks BTW: Please CC to me
