I am trying to get git to ignore my files in node_modules/ and it doesn't seem to be accepting this change.
Here is the content of my .gitignore file:
node_modules/
and here is my project structure:
I would expect the node_modules folder and all files/folders in it to be ignored by git, but instead I am getting a whole ton of changes listed as pending, and even when I do a git status in the root, node_modules/ is listed as pending. Is there some nomenclature about Windows that is making git act strangely?
