Description

I started adding my website to IPFS, but there are some big directories that don't strictly belong in my website, so it would be useful to have an exclude flag to specify paths to files and directories to exclude from the add operation.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at how the 'ipfs add' command is implemented, especially the flag parsing and file traversal logic. Add a new flag (e.g., exclude) that accepts a comma separated list of paths, then filter out those paths during the add operation.
