package-lock.md

While contributing to open-source, we often encounter an issue that leads to changes in the package-lock.json file, and maintainer or the owners of the repository may ask you to Revert those changes in the package-lock.json file while reviewing your PR.

Eventhough you've not committed anything in your package-lock.json file, but since you run NPM when you start, it automatically updates the package version to the latest. It then sometimes leads to conflicts with the main branch, or distrubs the workflows in somecases!

Remember to only commit the file you're making changes in!

How to revert those?
