feature: enable only for dependencies

[iamstarkov]

First of all, thank you for this awesome software

So right now i enabled greenkeeper for tens of my repos and it sends me updates for all my deps. At the same time i use nearly the same set of devDeps for every project. Once my test-runner or transpiler got update im instantly getting a lot of pull-requests. Its useful, but annoying as well.

I would be much more happier if i will be able to enable greenkeeper only for production dependencies (so devDeps will not get bump from greenkeeper). is there any way to do it now?

Heya, thank you for your kind words about Greenkeeper! 🌴

Your best bet right now would be the (undocumented) ignore feature in your package.json file(s):

…
  "greenkeeper": {
    "ignore": ["dep1", "dep2", "devDep1", "…"]
  }
…

This is undocumented on purpose, because we don’t guarantee this staying around forever in this form, but once we decide on a final syntax for this, we will auto-migrate your projects, so no worries about adopting this now.

Feel free to re-open if you have any further questions on this topic.
