Description
Hi, Gren language community. I'd like to request a feature where gren init command adds gren_packages/ directory to .gitignore (or .git/info/exclude) automatically when using git. If it is inconvenient, then please let gren init command urge you to do so in the prompt.
For example;
$ gren init
...
blah blah blah
...
Hints: You can add `gren_packages/` in your .gitignore or .git/info/exclude to ignore packages directory.

Research direction
The issue names the gren init command but no implementation files or tests. Start by locating the command and checking how it currently handles Git or initialization prompts. Done means gren init adds gren_packages/ to .gitignore or .git/info/exclude, or clearly prompts users to do so when Git is present.
