So basically there are few cases when package-lock.json changes
You npm install --save <package> so it updates the package to absolute latest version changing the version inside package.json and package-lock.json
When package.json changes: So when you (or let's say dependabot or your other teammate) changes the version of the package in package.json npm install will look into package.json for the version and will update the package-lock.json with respect to package.json
Also gitignoring package-lock is kind of risky unless you have any other workaround it
