Empty folders

[ravshansbox]

TLDR: we need to add .gitkeep to every empty folder openspec creates

After initialising the openspec, it creates:

• openspec/changes
• openspec/changes/archive
• openspec/specs

And if you try immediately commit the changes and someone fetches the repo, these folders are absent and openspec list command recommends openspec init. Even if you init once again those folders are not recreated.

@ravshansbox Ahaha yeah I didn't think about this edge case. I'll take a look.

Hi! I'd like to work on this issue.

Problem: Git doesn't track empty directories, so the specs/, changes/, and changes/archive/ folders created by openspec init disappear after commit, breaking the workflow for new team members.

Solution: Add .gitkeep files to these three directories to ensure Git tracks them.

Approach:

1. Modify src/core/init.ts createDirectoryStructure method to create .gitkeep files
2. Add test cases to verify .gitkeep presence
3. Ensure openspec list works immediately after clone

OpenSpec Proposal: I've created a proposal following the OpenSpec framework: add-gitkeep-empty-folders

I'll submit a PR shortly. Thanks!

I'd like to work on this. The fix adds .gitkeep files to the specs/, changes/, and changes/archive/ directories during init so they are preserved in version control.
