[Feature]: Skip STL generation and the GitHub Skyline ascii art text

[mattr-]

Description

I'd like the ability to generate only the ascii art portion of the skyline without the GitHub Skyline ASCII art and without generating an STL file. Why? I'd like to include the skyline as part of an overall dashboard I'm working on for my terminal setup.

Requirements

Provide CLI flag (--only-art?) that does the following:

• Removes the ASCII art for GitHub Skyline
• Prevents the generation of an STL file on disk.

I'd like to run something like gh skyline --art-only --year 2023 and have

                                                ╻
 ╻               ╻      ╻ ╻╻                   ╻░
 ░  ╻╻  ╻   ╽┃  ╻░╻ ╻   ░ ░░ ╻    ╻    ╻╻╻╻ ╻ ╻░░
╻░┃╻▒░╻╻░  ╻░░╻╻░░░╻░╻ ╻░ ░░╻░╻  ╻░ ╻╻╻░░░░ ░ ░░░

░░░░░▒░░░░░▒░▒░▓░▓░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░

be the only output. (This is my real skyline from the year 2023 😄)

Definition of Done

• The request is fulfilled
• Relevant documentation is updated
• Unit tests are updated/written and passing

Additional Notes

[chrisreddington]

Thanks for the feature request @mattr- 😄 This is an interesting request, as Skyline has typically centered around the 3D printing of the STL models. I added the ASCII art as a new addition for this CLI format, so I'm glad to see that you're enjoying that ❤️ (It brings me joy when I see it appear!)

Overall, I'm seeing a few GitHub Issues with a similar theme of 'customisability' (e.g. being able to customise the STL a bit more, or only have ASCII art, and no STL generated). This is an interesting request, and I think could be explored further.

For now, I'll unassigned this issue, so consider it triaged 🎉 😄 If anyone might be interested in taking a look, please do let me know!
