[Vuejs]-Vue-cli is bloating my app: it creates a lot of files for a simple project

I’m pretty sure most of the files you are talking about is in the node_modules directory. It’s just dependencies of not only Vue CLI but mainly of Webpack, which is used to build your project.

This directory should not be shared as anyone working on the project can easily recreate it by running npm install – so it’s usually added into .gitignores file (if using git)

If you are beginner with Vue I strongly recommend using CLI…
