How to exclude all folders except one?

I'm using git for developing sites and there is one thing that keeps bothering me. For sites which are on shared hosting (cpanel) I must create .gitignore in home directory and then in that file put every folder except one, "public_html". Is there any other way that I can exclude every folder in home directory except public_html, dynamic way?

Use ! to exclude patterns in your .gitignore file

E.g.:

*/
!public_html

This excludes all directories (even those you will create after) except public_html.
