get secret --add existing regex pattern returns exit code 1

We have scripts to set up our machines. But whenever we run it a second time with git secrets, it will fail on adding the same pattern matcher.

Apparently running git secret --add --global "<existing pattern>" to a pattern already configured will return an exit code 1 thus causing our script to fail.

You could append || true to the end of the line that calls git secrets --add to ignore failures.

That is what I've done, but I'm afraid I might make a typo one day and it will just silently fail.
