node modules - Git - Ignore node_modules folder everywhere

Question

I have a project containing multiple other projects :

• Main project
  • Mini project 1
  • Mini project 2

All containing node_modules folder. I want git to ignore the folder no matter where it is starting from the root folder. Something like this to add in .gitignore :

*node_modules/*

Answer 1

Add node_modules/ or node_modules to the .gitignore file to ignore all directories called node_modules in the current folder and any subfolders like the below image.
