Will gitignore interfere with the project?

Question

git

Hello!
Tell me please!
Let's say the situation is:
There is a project on github along with a file .gitignore, and I need to transfer this project to my computer. Accordingly, I copy the link from the remote repository and write the command in the terminal git clonealong with the URL and the name of the folder where I clone the project. The whole project is transferred to the computer, but is it necessary to register any other dependencies? After all .gitignore, he didn't just lay there. If there was a node_modules folder, will it appear on my computer or do I need some other commands?

Answer 1

Gitignore simply disallows committing ignored files. You will be able to work with the project normally
