Git tracks the content. The content is stored in files. Git doesn't track empty directories by design. — axiac, Jul 24 '17 at 10:20

You will not see an empty directory in git, as git saves only files and not folders. In order to add the folder you will need to create a file inside.

Please see Commit empty folder structure (with git)
