How to make TFS include bin and debug folders by default

I recently started working on a project that is using .Net Core & React. Our shop is using TFS for a version control and this is where I encountered a problem. When React project is created it uses NPM that loads up a bunch of files in "node_modules" folder as dependencies. Some of these modules have "bin" and "debug" folders in them, but TFS naturally ignores them causing compilation issues for other developers.

Is there a way to add something like "!\ClientApp\node_modules*" to ".tfignore" file to eliminate this behavior on certain paths?

Remove all folders generated by package managers from source control entirely. Restoring packages should be part of your build process, both on your desktop and during CI.
