This PR inverts the direction of the
.prettierignorefile, so that it lists the files and folders to ignore (as the file name implies), rather than all the files and folders to only format.Motivation
In another PR (my first), the first review comment had requested that the new script was added to the
.prettierignorefile as an opt-in. However, it is not standard to use a.ignorefile for opting into formatting, so this was very confusing to me. Additionally, since I'm assuming the plan is to eventually format all files using Prettier, having the.prettierignorefile use an opt-out (or using proper terminology, ignore) structure, it serves as a to-do list for what still needs to be formatted.
