Git does not track empty directories, so adding a `.gitkeep` file to an empty directory allows it to be tracked in the repository. Once you add other files to the directory, you can remove the `.gitkeep` file if it’s no longer needed. The `.gitkeep` file itself has no special meaning to Git – it’s simply a naming convention used by developers.
