Git and exclude subfolder

Question

My repo has following structure:

- Data
-- Audio
-- Video

I want to include Audio but exclude Video. I wrote in info/exclude

Data/Video

but this didn't work. The following didn't work either:

Data/
!Data/Audio

Strangely, but this works:

Data/

Where am I wrong?

Answer 1

You could try

Data/Video/

The trailing / is important when ignoring a folder.
