Ignore all dir's but one

I'm trying to ignore all directories within a directory except one. Here is my file hierarchy.

project
  .gitignore
  main.rb
  libs
    foo
      foo.rb
    bar
      bar.rb
    com
      com.rb

I want to ignore all directories in libs except com Here is what i tried in .gitignore

/libs/ 
!/libs/com/

When I do git status libs dir is not listed

What I'm doing wrong?

if you ignore libs, libs/com is never found.
Instead ignore everything in libs, except com.

/libs/*
!/libs/com/
