Create your own nodemon.json in root project source and put this in file

{
  "ignore": [
    "**/*.test.ts",
    "**/*.spec.ts",
    ".git",
    "node_modules"
  ],
  "watch": [
    "src"
  ],
  "exec": "npm start",
  "ext": "ts"
}

and run nodemon that's. Just make sure you installed nodemon in global scope.
