add empty src folder to GIT repository

Question

i want to add an empty SRC folder to GIT repository, is there possibility that i can add without having any files inside initially, but i will definitely have files in future. i want this because when my team import the project i want them to have src folder, so that they can add files in future.

i have see this SO answer but is there anyways that i can add empty folder.

git add SRC

command is not working for me

Answer 1

No, you cannot do this. You will need to add some sort of file, such as a README or a hidden file (some people use .gitkeep as a convention, though I prefer README which can explain what the folder is for).
