nvim-tree + .gitignore: one directory is empty but visible

[wojcraft]

Hello,

Below I uploaded the screenshot of an empty .config directory listed in nvim-tree. In normal ls -lah it is not empty, but nvim-tree + .gitignore makes it - I don't know why. I'm here asking for help, to see my files and directories in the .config dir through nvim-tree. If you need more context, I want you to know I'm here to give it. Have a nice day or night!

* matches anything but slash i.e. directories. Maybe try */.

It looks like you are trying to version control your home directory or dotfiles. That never ends well and is generally considered unix/git bad practice

See #2142 #1966
