request: Don't remove custom modules added in Intellij

[pavanpodila]

Is there an existing feature request for this?

Command

No response

Description

In my current Intellij project, I also have some custom modules that are not managed by melos. Unfortunately, each time I run melos bs, it rewrites the .idea/modules.xml file and I have to keep adding it back. Can we add an option in the melos.yaml to retain non-melos managed modules ?

Reasoning

It will greatly help where there are custom modules added manually to the Intellij Project.

@pavanpodila do you have any ideas of how to implement this? Maybe Intellij offers a way so that we could have this in a separate file that we then can import in modules.xml? I think it would be hard to know what melos should remove and what it shouldn't otherwise.

I think we can take the option in melos.yaml, just like the workspace packages. We could call it excluded packages
