Make iCloud sync ignore node_modules in your project

# 🖕iCloud (from 🔋's everywhere)

## iCloud NoSync node

This package gives you access to `nosync-node` or `nsn` command which does some work to stop iCloud from syncing `node_modules` and forever eating your processing power, bandwidth, and battery.

To use:

- `npm install -g icloud-nosync-node`
- `nosync-node` or `nsn`
- `-n` flag will prevent it from creating/modifying `.gitignore` file

The script does a few things to work:

- Step 1: if no `node_modules` is detected it will `npm install` for you
- Step 2: Rename `node_modules` to `node_modules.nosync`
- Step 3: Add symlink `node_modules` -> `node_modules.nosync` so stuff still works
- Step 4: Add entry to `.gitignore` to ignore the newly created `node_modules` symlink and `node_modules.nosync`
- Step 5: 💰💰💰?

### Special thx to Apple for not creating an ignore setting 🙄
