In the current documentation for Code Owners, which uses Ant path matching when adding rules, we have added examples with double asterisks (**). However, it would be good to have examples of how the matching works when the rules are added with a single asterisk ( * )
Example:
Double Asterisk (**):
- Matches all files and directories at any level within the repository.
- This is a recursive match, meaning it includes all files in all directories, no matter how deeply nested.
- Example: It would match file.txt, src/file.txt, src/components/file.txt, and any other files, regardless of their location in the directory structure.
Single Asterisk ( * ):
- Matches all files in the root directory of the repository.
- It does not match files in subdirectories or the subdirectories themselves.
- Example: It would match file.txt in the root directory but not src/file.txt or src/components/file.txt.
