title: How to remove storage folder from .gitignore file?
body: <p>My .gitignore file contains one big line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/node_modules/public/hot/public/storage/storage/*.key/vendor/.idea/.vagrantHomestead.jsonHomestead.yamlnpm-debug.logyarn-error.log.env
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Since I have a folder in my storage which contains all icons/images that are used in my website, I want that folder to be uploaded to github as well. Sadly it seems the whole public/storage folder is in gitignore so it's getting ignored.</p>
  
  <p>Little side question - why does my gitignore file has a blank file name when looking at it in the root folder? </p>
