Sorry for requesting something that will require a refactor to pass around the config so soon after a release 😢

No worries! The reason why I was so eager to push a new release was to get feedback, which seems to be working 😄

Proposing an option --churn-exclude to exclude certain files from the churn metrics.

That's a great idea, and I agree that it should behave the same way as the --exclude flag and accept patterns.

Alternatively, --exclude can be used to ignore files for churn metrics.

I don't know, maybe we could decouple the two and explain the difference between them in a help message, or by finding a more specific name. Some users may want to exclude certain files/folders from the churn while still having them taken into account in the language distribution 🤔

Sounds good to me! That was my initial instinct, but then I had trouble thinking of a real-world example where I'd want to exclude files from churn metrics but include them for everything else, since my use case is generated files.
