`**` works for globbing in the shell
I just learned that globbing in fish is WAY more powerful than I realized, like:
- instead of
find . -name '*.md'I can just dols **.md - instead of
find . -type d -name ‘*blah*’, I can justls -d **blah*/
A couple of notes:
- apparently you can do this in zsh or bash (with bash’s extended globbing) too, though it might be
**/*.mdinstead of**.md - as usual globs don’t include dotfiles so it’s not exactly the same as running
find
Learned this from this page from 2004 on shells which mentioned offhand that “under zsh, [globbing] is so powerful, it almost makes find redundant.”
