There's a section at the bottom of the `gitignore` docs (see
https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore) that deals specifically with this use
case. It reads:
Example to exclude everything except a specific directory foo/bar (note the
/* - without the slash, the wildcard would also exclude everything within
foo/bar):
$ cat .gitignore
# exclude everything except directory foo/bar
/*
!/foo
/foo/*
!/foo/bar
(Note the use of the `/*` suffix.)
