npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file

Question

I have been trying to load the skeleton of express with npm install express. It outputs the following line:

npm notice created a lockfil

Answer 1

If this is output from a Dockerfile then you don't want / need to commit it.

However you will want to tag the base image and any other contributing images / applications.

E.g.

FROM node:12.18.1
