Git file usage

Question

Hello, i have recently downloaded an app called dcoder for react js coding. In place of node modules there is a .git folder. My question is that, what is this .git folder. Is it a replacement for node modules and also what if i delete it.

Answer 1

.git folder is being created when your directory is being initialised. it is a hidden folder and nothing to do with your modules. and if you remove that then the initialisation will be also removed
