I managed to commit node_modules folder to github using VS Code git integration. Luckily it was on a smaller test project. My fault but there was a UI failure. All I did was press Commit which apparently decided to stage and commit everything under the root folder. It didn't do this in other projects so who knows what was different. This is how credential files must get committed to github every day. If VS Code is going to be smart about so many other things, then there should be some sort of warning for major code affecting changes. You are about to push 5000 files to master repo inluding some that appear to be widely used libraries, are you sure that is what you want ?
