[Feature]: ignoreProjects counterpart to selectProjects

[eliw00d]

🚀 Feature Proposal

Currently, selectProjects allows you to include projects by displayName. However, there is no to way exclude projects by displayName. So, adding ignoreProjects would allow you to exclude projects by displayName.

Motivation

In a large monorepo it is quite verbose to use selectProjects when you only need to exclude a small number of projects.

Example

--selectProjects A,B,D,E,F,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Z

versus

--ignoreProjects C,G,Y

Pitch

If there is an include there should also be an exclude.

Although I could probably get this to work with --projects and a glob, it would be nice to exclude them by displayName instead of path.

Also, as a bonus, they use the same number of characters. 😄

@eliw00d I'd like to implement this feature. do you think using selectProjects and ignoreProjects together make sense?

[eliw00d]

I don't see why not!
