As much as Git LFS is a bit of a pain, on recent projects I've resorted to committing my node_modules with Yarn 2 to Git using LFS and it works really well. Note that with Yarn 2 you're committing .tar.gz's of packages rather than the JS files themselves, so it lends itself quite well to LFS as there are a smaller number of large files. https://yarnpkg.com/features/zero-installs#how-do-you-reach-... https://yarnpkg.c…
why are you committing packages?
Because why not? It’s recommended in Yarn 2 and I don’t see there being any downsides with Git LFS as the files stores in Git are essentially pointers.
