Globbing rules match .gitignore globs. Precede a glob with a ! to exclude it. If multiple globs match a file or directory, the glob given later in the command line takes precedence. +As an extension, globs support specifying alternatives: *-g ab{c,d}* is +equivalet to *-g abc -g abd*. Empty alternatives like *-g ab{,c}* are not +currently supported. Note that this syntax extension is also currently enabled +in gitignore files, even though this syntax isn't supported by git itself. +ripgrep may disable this syntax extension in gitignore files, but it will +always remain available via the -g/--glob flag. + When this flag is set, every file and directory is applied to it to test for a match. So for example, if you only want to search in a particular directory 'foo', then *-g foo* is incorrect because 'foo/bar' does not match the glob |
