I play around with ComfyUI on my computer to make silly images.
To manually install it, you must clone the repo. Then you have to download models into the right place. Where's the right place? Well, there's an empty directory called models. They go in there.
IMO that's an effective use of gitkeep.

But in any case, that instruction was already in the readme as well.
