Committing Empty Directories to Git Repository.

# GitEmptyDirs !!

Ever came up with a scenario where you have extracted a software platform and initialised a git repository on it so that you can start building things on it ? If in case, the extracted platform contains lot of empty directories, those directories don’t get committed to you repository which can lead to lot of errors for your co worker. GitEmptyDirs is helpful in those kind of scenarios. It creates an empty .gitignore file or copies a specified file in all empty folders so that every folder gets committed.

## Installation

Easily install using one simple command:

pip install git-empty-dirs
