--excluded name-of-plugin or-several

Plugins to exclude from the update. As noted above, the script aims to update gatsby and any package in package.json's dependencies that begins with gatsby-.

What it does

You can obviously look at the logic in src/index.ts but TLDR of what goes on when you run the script:

1. Guess package manager to use based on lockfile in directory. Falls back to npm.
2. Remove previous lockfile(s) and /node_modules
3. Get dependencies from package.json, and filter for gatsby or any name starting with gatsby-. Remove excluded plugins if provided.
4. Run npm install/yarn add for each plugin in the filtered list at latest/next.
