Want to track a file / folder which was earlier ignored by .gitignore

I have a folder public/lib which was ignored by GIT as i added following to .gitignore file :

public/lib

I made initial committ & pushed changes into remote repository. Later realized i need to commit one folder in public/lib called templates. Then found this approach for Make .gitignore ignore everything except a few files

Changed my .gitignore file to :

public/lib
!public/lib/template/**/*

This is not helping me. I dont see template folder considered by GIT on next git status.

I am new to Git.

Your whitelist for the subdirectory looks a bit off to me. Try this:

public/lib              # blacklist public/lib folder
!public/lib/template    # but exclude the template subfolder
