Exclude folder from .gitignore rule

Question

I have a project where I want to exclude all the pesky *.png files but still want to include the when they are in a specific folder. Essentially, I want to not apply the *.png rule in this folder. My first attempt did not work.

*.png
!results/*

Precisely, how to disable certain rules in certain folders?

Answer 1

Could you try this

*.png
!results/*.png
