Why are new created folders not included in the git index?

Question

git

when I create new files or edit old files/folders, the changes are visible with the git status command, but when I create a new folder, it does not get into the index. Why can this be and how can it be fixed?

Answer 1

empty folders are not added.
if they are desperately needed, an empty file is created in them (usually they are made hidden) and committed.
