Description

Prettier currently has:

  • --config - Specifies the path to the intended configuration file.
  • --ignore-path - Specifies the path to the intended ignore file.
  • --find-config-path - Prints the current config file that is used.

However, it is missing --find-ignore-path.

I propose that this should be added.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing --find-config-path CLI option and compare it with --ignore-path behavior. Add the missing --find-ignore-path option so it reports the ignore file selected for the current invocation, then verify the option is documented in the CLI help and produces the expected path.
