nodemon: Ignore specific files.
$ nodemon --ignore ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The nodemon command is used to restart a Node.js application automatically whenever changes are made to the files in the project.

The --ignore option in the command allows you to specify certain files or directories that should be ignored by nodemon when monitoring for changes.

${filename_or_directory} represents the placeholder where you should replace it with the actual name of the file or directory you want to ignore. For example, if you want to ignore a file named config.js, you would use nodemon --ignore config.js.

By using the --ignore option, you can prevent certain files or directories from triggering the restart of the Node.js application when changes occur in them.
