A glob (short for global) is a pattern-matching syntax used to identify sets of filenames or paths with the help of wildcard characters such as * and ?.
It provides a simplified way to match multiple files without listing them individually, making it common in command-line operations, scripting, and configuration files. Unlike regular expressions, globs are limited in scope but easier to use for file-matching tasks.
Example
*.jsmatches all JavaScript files in the current directory.images/*.pngmatches all PNG images inside the images folder.
