Gitignore everything except a dir with its subfiles

Question

I would like to exclude all files except a single directory, I have seen other solutions but none works:

!home/
home/*
!home/.bashrc

home/some_dir/*
!home/some_dir/src/

home/some_dir/src/*
!home/some_dir/src/some_other_dir/

Git can see .bashrc and .gitignore but not the some_other_dir.

Ok I found the solution:

!home/
home/*

!home/some_dir
home/some_dir/*

!home/some_dir/src
home/some_dir/src/*

!home/some_dir/src/some_other_dir

!home/.bashrc
