Javascript – How to manage npm packages in my repository

I wanted to make a discord bot so I used npm for the first time, I created a package file and installed discord.js but now I have 3000 files that i could sync in my repository, it seems like a stupid thing to do, what should I do?

I guess i should put some files into .gitignore but which ones shoud be left into the repo?

    The node_modules folder is automatically generated when you use npm i or npm install, and this can get quite large. It’s best to add the node_modues folder to your .gitignore.

    You could maybe use this .gitignore file: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Node.gitignore

    You can always copy this block, it covers up, i guess, anything.

    Everything that’s needed to be out of gitignore, it will be left out.
