When adding a library to the workspace, also update .gitignore

[fireflysemantics]

When running ng g library name_of_library also add the libraries node_modules path to the top level .gitignore.

Can you please elaborate a bit more?

You should only have node_modules at the root level of your Angular workspace.

[fireflysemantics]

Sure. I recently repackaged @fireflysemantics/is using the Angular Package Format. Here's is the gitignore for the project:

https://github.com/fireflysemantics/is/blob/master/.gitignore

Notice:

# dependencies
/node_modules
/projects/is/node_modules

The reason I need projects/is/node_modules is that unless I have this git will see all those files when we run npm i for the local library.

Hi @fireflysemantics, It’s not a typically scenario that in an Angular workspace you have node_modules nested under projects. Usuallynpm install only happens at the root level of the workspace.

This is also partially related to the fact that Yarn workspaces are not supported #7097

No: removing the leading slash from the entry should also yield the same result.
