+# The above is the MOST EFFECTIVE ONE as per

+# The way to ignore all directories called "node_modules"
+# anywhere below the current level in a directory tree
+
+# Further if I have already pushed a directory to remote then remove that with below
+# Execute a folder remove (rm) from index only (--cached) recursivelly (-r). Command line example for root bin folder:
+# `git rm -r --cached full_absolute_path`
+# e.g. I had to run the below kind of command to remove the ".next" folder that was pushed to remote github
+# passing the full path of the .next folder
+# git rm -r --cached /media/veracrypt2/014-agency-classic-next/.next

+# If you have performed a task, such as adding a new line item to your .gitignore file, I MUST need to clear out your git repo's cache in order for the changes to take place. Here are the commands for doing that:
+# git rm -r --cached . && git add . && git commit -am 'git cache cleared' && git push
