await vign.Plugins.loadBuiltIns(); // load all built-in plugins
await vign.Plugins.loadPlugins(["example"]); // load third-party plugins

// scan - options available
const fileInfoList = await vign.scan(".", { target: "git", cwd: process.cwd() });
const fileInfoList = await vign.scan(["./path/to/file"], { target: "git", process.cwd() });

// use results
if (fileInfo.ignored) {
    superCodeEditor.explorer.colorFile(fileInfo.relativePath, "gray");
}
