Wow! Thank you so much for your valuable comments everyone. But, in my defense I want to make it clear why I talked about deleting package.json and Gemfile.lock files.
I said I deleted the package.json file because, The project was my personal static website hosted on GitHub pages. I used gulp as a dev dependency and to me it was never needed to be on the repo since I use a single machine for development.
I talked about me deleting the Gemfile.lock file because, my blog is also hosted on GitHub pages and is rendered with Jekyll. So, I do not know the consequences of keeping the file in the repo which is deployed in an environment which I don't have control of.
Thank you all again for pointing out the importance of package.json, package-lock.josn, Gemfile and Gemfile.lock files being in the repo 🙂
