    # How to remove node_modules

    1. Create a .gitignore file in the git repository if it does not contain one
    ## Create a `.gitignore` file

    `touch .gitignore`
    1. Check for an existing `.gitignore` file in the project directory

    2. Open up the .gitignore and add the following line to the file
    ```Bash
    ls -a
    ```

    `**/node_modules`
    2. If your project directory has a `.gitingore` file - skip to step 3. Otherwise, continue with:

    3. Remove the node_modules folder from the git repository
    Create a `.gitignore` file in the git repository

    `git rm -r --cached node_modules`
    ```Bash
    touch .gitignore
    ```

    4. Commit the git repository without the node modules folder
    ## Remove the `node_modules` directory

    `git commit -m "Removed node_module folder"`
    3. Open up the `.gitignore` and add the following line to the file

    5. Push the repository to github
    ```
    **/node_modules
    ```

    `git push origin master`
    4. Remove the `node_modules` folder from the git repository


    After all of that, you should also add the gitignore and commit it to the repository
    ```Bash
    git rm -r --cached node_modules
    ```

    ## Commit All Changes

    `git add .gitignore`
    5. Commit the git repository without the `node_modules` folder

    ```Bash
    git commit -m "Removed node_modules folder"
    ```

    `git commit -m "Updated the .gitignore file`
    6. Push the change to the remote repo

    ```
    git push origin main
    ```
