How to exclude .gitignore rules only once?

Make once init of my laravel 8 app on server(ubuntu 20) I need to upload some images under storage, which is excluded from git by .gitignore rules.

I do not like to remove .gitignore at all, but if there is a way to exclude these rules only once ?

Seems there is some force option, but how can I use it running command locally :

git push -u origin master

and on server :

git pull origin master

My root .gitignore:

/public/js/laravel.app.js
/public/js/oneui.app.js
/public/js/tables_datatables.js
/public/css/oneui.css

composer.lock

package-lock.json

.env
vendor/
route_list.txt

Which is correct syntax ?

Thanks!

Solution

Looks like adding -f key like:

git add -f storage/app/public/Photos/1/img-13.jpg

works in my case
