Glob Path Pattern

Path patterns in trunk configuration are always relative to the repo root. Every pattern may contain one or more path segments. Each path segment is separated by a /. A single * is treated as a segment level wildcard. It will match any substring in the segment (including the empty string) and excluding the directory separator /. The * wildcard may appear multiple times in a single path segment. A double ** is even broader; it will match zero or more complete path segments and must appear exclusively in it's own segment (i.e. **/foo is legal syntax whereas foo**/bar is not).
/hello_world
├── bar
│ ├── hello.cpp
│ ├── h.cpp
│ ├── h.zip
│ ├── zap
│ │ ├── hi.png
├── foo
│ ├── file.txt
Some examples:
  • bar non-recursively matches every file in the directory bar/, including bar/hello.cpp, bar/h.cpp, and bar/h.zip, but not bar/zap/hi.png
  • foo/bar.txt matches only a single file named bar.txt in the foo subdirectory
  • foo/*.txt matches every file in the foo subdirectory that ends with .txt
  • bar/h*.c* matches every files in the bar subdirectory that starts with an h and also contains the substring .c, including bar/hello.cpp and bar/h.cpp, but not bar/h.zip
  • bar/** recursively matches every file in the directory bar, including bar/hello.cp as well as bar/zap/hi.png
