Copy projects without node modules on windows

Create a exclude.txt and paste the following.

node_modules

You can also add additional folders. The following example was my exclude.txt

node_modules
.parcel-cache
.next
logs

I used this to backup old files to an external drive:

xcopy "C:\Users\dries\Documents" "G:\Documents" /EXCLUDE:except.txt /S

This was ran in powershell.

Thanks a lot! Wasted 3 hours in vain, but you could just google ...

In the example above, you write about exclude.txt, and then in the command you specify about except.txt

Thank you man, you saved me hours of waiting for copying, lol.
