I read this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5533050/gitignore-exclude-folder-but-include-specific-subfolder/5534865#5534865



But this is use-case when git fails without any clue:



*
!abc
abc/def/*

!abc/def/mng
abc/def/mng/*

!abc/def/mng/qka
abc/def/mng/qka/*

!abc/def/mng/qka
abc/def/mng/qka/xyz/*


git can be able to add files till it reach level 4 subfolder abc/def/mng/qka/xyz, everything under abc/def/mng/qka/xyz can't be added to git repo, I have no clue why, I cat "hello" >> abc/def/mng/qka/xyz/test and try to include it !abc/def/mng/qka/xyz/test, don't see it in git add .; git status

  • Like mention in comment of this question, I mistakenly see something as file but actually a folder and need an extra exclude to work: unix.stackexchange.com/q/485632/256195
