How to exclude all files from consideration in git, except for some, incl. in subfolders?

Question

git

Hello! I'm trying to exclude all files from consideration in git, except for the empty( 1 ) *
.html files that are on the same level as gitignore and any files in the img
subfolder . )*.html !/img/* Everything works fine with empty(1)*.html files, git sees them, but files from the img/ folder continue to be excluded from consideration. Please tell me what is wrong.

Answer 1

If you're on a Unix system, /img/ refers to the img folder at the beginning of the file system.
Try
or
!./img/*
