git ignore directory except for specified

I want to ignore entire public_html/ directory except one file inside

I give .gitignore as below:

public_html/*
!public_html/config/config.php

However, when I run git status , I can not find config.php has been included.

First commit / add public_html/config/config.php and then add public_html to the gitignore.

Change .gitignore to

public_html/*

And force adding config.php into index.

git add -f public_html/config/config.php
