I have ng-payment-card package and I've made some modifications in a file inside the package, and I need to include this file in the git commit in order to not reset it every time I make npm install.
I tried to write in .gitignore like this:
!/node_modules/ng-payment-card/__ivy_ngcc__/fesm2015/ng-payment-card.js
but the same, the file hasn't been added to the commit.
Even if the file is currently ignored, you can force adding it:
git add --force node_modules/ng-payment-card/__ivy_ngcc__/fesm2015/ng-payment-card.js
That way, everything else remains ignored, while your file becomes tracked.
if you like to work with .gitignore
thats what you need to add to .gitignore
/*
!node_modules
node_modules/*
!node_modules/ng-payment-card
node_modules/ng-payment-card/*
!node_modules/ng-payment-card/ivy_ngcc
node_modules/ng-payment-card/ivy_ngcc/*
!node_modules/ng-payment-card/ivy_ngcc/fesm2015
node_modules/ng-payment-card/ivy_ngcc/fesm2015/*
!node_modules/ng-payment-card/ivy_ngcc/fesm2015/ng-payment-card.js
basically the problem is you have to allow access to all the sub directories to get to the last folder where the file is residing.
