Glob Pattern Tester

A single star matches any characters except a slash, so it stays inside one path segment. A double star (globstar) also matches slashes, so it spans across directories. A pattern like src/**/*.ts matches files at any depth, including directly inside src.

Star (*), globstar (**), single character (?), character classes like [a-z], [abc] and negated [!abc], plus brace alternation like {js,ts}. Every other character is matched literally.

No. Both ? and a single * stop at a path separator, so they only match within one segment. Use ** when you need to cross directory boundaries.

An unterminated character class like [abc or an unclosed brace group like {js,ts is reported as an invalid glob, and no paths are matched until you fix it.

It uses the same core wildcards you see in .gitignore and build configs, but gitignore adds extra rules for leading and trailing slashes and negation lines. This tool focuses on matching a path against one glob pattern.
