Npm-check-updates: Option to exclude/ignore package update

[evgenyrodionov]

If I have major update that breaks my app, I don't want at this moment update it. I think, ability to run ncu -u --exclude browserify will be very useful.

This can be done! It's a little awkward-looking but it's just a regex filter.

In v1.5.1:

ncu -f '/^(?!browserify)$/'

In upcoming v2 (usable now via npm install -g npm-check-updates@unstable):

ncu '/^(?!browserify)$/'

Great, thanks!

+1 for the original request because regex.

with recent versions > 2 you can use something like:

ncu -x 'pattern'
