Which folders from the project should be put on github and which should not?

Question

git

SW. developers, tell me please, I have a project, I did it using galp and there are build, src, node_modules folders. So, do you need to upload all these folders to github or just the build folder? I just want to make a portfolio for myself in order to show my work to the employer in the future, do I need to upload everything in this case or is the build folder enough?

Answer 1

It is necessary to lay out the source code in the general case.
Assembled files (build), dependencies (node_modules) are not needed.
Also, you should not upload folders like .idea, .vscode and files with configs where API access keys and database passwords are stored, if any.
