While reviewing #1390, I realized that we haven’t checked in
package-lock.json
into version control, but we explicitly ignore it currently.package-lock.json
is an auto-generated manifest file which is created and maintained bynpm
on every change topackage.json
. Having the lock file under version control is actually recommended, because in contrast to the purepackage.json
file, the lock file captures the entire dependency tree. This aims to make builds more reproducible, faster, and safer (due to checksums).Note: if git commit statistics are important to us, then we can also commit this under a separate account (e.g. some sort of bot account), since
package-lock.json
changes are always relatively large diffs in terms of LOC added/deleted.
