Nodemon

# In order to make NodeMon ignore a bunch of files from monitoring, you can start it as

nodemon --ignore PATTERN [--ignore PATTERN2]
# where PATTERN is the name of a specific file, directory, or wildcard pattern. Make sure that if you use a wildcard, it is escaped.

# For example
nodemon --ignore 'lib/*.js' --ignore README

# Alternatively, if you want to configure that behaviour instead, try creating a nodemon.json file in your current working directory,
# or your home directory. You can configure ignoring some files by adding something like the following to this config file:

{
    "ignore": ["lib/*.js", "README"]
}

# Refer the README file at https://github.com/remy/nodemon for more details.
