Description
_[Pulled from comments on Issue #409]_
It would be extremely useful to be able to pass special-paths to broot via CLI flags, as in
```bash
broot --hide="/example/useless" --no-enter="/example/slow-remote-mount" --no-enter="**/.git" --enter="/example/git-ignored-path"
```
In addition, per Issue #551, this feature should be coupled with new Verb commands within the Broot view itself:
| `:hide`
(with selection) | `:show-hidden`
(with argument) | `:no-enter`
(with argument) |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the requested CLI examples and the related discussions in Issues #409 and #551. The work is complete when broot accepts the hide, no-enter, and enter path flags and provides the requested :hide, :show-hidden, and :no-enter verbs in the view.
