Description

This line is preventing me to exclude the common/temp/node_modules directory of my monorepo and any "subproject" node_modules directory 😢

e.g. If I md-magic --path '**/*.md' --ignore 'common/temp/node_modules/**', the tool tries to modify its own examples because it finds it in the common/temp/node_modules directory (which is the global store for every dependency of the monorepo).

Is it possible to replace it with something more robust? Maybe just use !**/node_modules/** (⚠️ if it works)?

Research direction

Read cli.js at line 47 and trace how the ignore pattern is combined with --path. Reproduce the issue with the provided md-magic command and a nested common/temp/node_modules directory; done means the explicit ignore excludes that directory and nested node_modules locations without modifying the examples.
