for fish and showing logs for what you're adding

find . -type d -maxdepth 3 -name 'node_modules' | while read -l line
     echo "Excluding: $line"
     tmutil addexclusion "$line"
end

and to check what you added

find . -type d -maxdepth 3 -name 'node_modules' | while read -l line
    tmutil isexcluded "$line"
end
