How to move individual (Not Global) node modules from the project folder to another folder?

Question

Node.js

The node_modules folder contains a lot of files, which is not very convenient.
How can I move it to another location on my hard drive?
node_modules two folders are created, one in % AppData%, the second in the root of the project, I need both of them to be created in % AppData%, only the second one is not in % AppData% \ npm but in % AppData% \ npm \ ProjectName

Answer 1

In the new npm version this will be fixed, the node_modules folder will not be created in the project folder

Answer 2

You don't need to move this folder. Deploy everything from scratch with npm without the pain

Answer 3

Add the node_modules folder to .gitigrore and forget to synchronize it
It is created automatically by npm and not gulp in the root of the node project, when deploying just write npm i or yarn
