Using npm with Git

Summary

Add the following entry to your .gitignore file:

node_modules/

Details

When using npm, you don’t want to commit your node_modules folder to your repo, so you should add it to your .gitignore file.

You should commit your package.json and package-lock.json files. This will allow other developers who clone your project to download your project’s dependencies using the npm install command.
