Vscode unable to watch for file changes in large workspace - Ubuntu 18+

gistfile1.txt

First we can check the current limits etc by following:

```
echo "MAX file watches allowed on system"
cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

echo "Current files in project - excluding node_modules"
find . -type f -not -path '**/node_modules/**' | wc -l

echo "Current files in project - including node_modules"
find . -type f | wc -l
```

and in order to increase, use following:

```
sudo /bin/su -c "echo 'fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288' >> /etc/sysctl.conf"
sudo sysctl -p  
```

verfiy again using `cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches`

I think it's a good idea to add some watcherExclude object in the vscode user settings
```
  "files.watcherExclude": {
    "**/.git/objects/**": true,
    "**/.git/subtree-cache/**": true,
    "**/node_modules/**": true,
    "**/node_modules/*/**": true,
    "**/Pods/**": true,
    "**/dist/**": true
  }
```
