Important files

package.json

The package.json file is the core of your project. It contains your project’s metadata, dependencies, scripts, and other configurations. You can find detailed information on the npm website.

.gitignore

The .gitignore file is used to specify which files should not be tracked by Git. This is useful to files that contain sensitive information or which are generated by your project. You can find detailed information on the Git website.

README.md

Sometimes overlooked, the README.md file is the starting point for your project documentation. This can include:

• - How to setup and run your project
• - How to contribute to the project
• - Further links to documentation
