Does the node_modules file show up when the 'git status' command is executed by default?

I am using the C9 IDE to learn node.js and just recently pushed my app to Heroku. I understand that you are not supposed to push your node_modules folder to the server as it is handled in the package.json file but it does not show up when I execute the 'git status' command even after changing it. I tried running the 'ls -a' command but can't find a .gitignore file.How would I even push it to the server in the (unlikely) event that I need to?
