Recursively create empty filefiles in all empty 'leaf' sub-directories

I have created the directory structure for my Maven project.

$ tree -a -I .git . ├── .gitignore ├── README.md ├── pom.xml └── src ├── main │   ├── java │   └── resources └── test ├── java └── resources 7 directories, 2 files

Now I'd like to persist the structure to .git, which requires creating dummy files in sub-directories. How can I (recursively) add empty .gitkeep files to all empty sub-directories?

Following questions already discuss (recursive) creation of empty files in sub-directories, but I'd like the files to be created only in leaf directoriesfiles to be created only in leaf directories and not in any intermediate directories and not in any intermediate directories
