Git add . staging ganache node modules

[zbilly18]

After executing git add . and git status, I am seeing that there are 1k+ staged changes in the source control. Not sure what is happening here but I can confirm that my source code is in the git add along with many other files.

Hello @zbilly18
Well this is because you are also adding the node_modules folder, which contains hundreds if not thousands of dependencies for the project to run (if you have installed something with npm).
So, is as easiest as go to .gitignore file and add node_modules/ to it, and now git will ignore it.

Note: if you don't have a node_modules on your project file, you might have it on a parent folder upside the hierarchy.

Cheers.
