vim (exploring *** behaviour)
# you may skip to the `ls ***/***.fish` example on 28 line
$
ls ***.fish
important/very-important/this.fish
test.fish
usual/not-interested.fish
$
ls ***important
important:
very-important
important/very-important:
this.fish
$
ls ***important/***.fish
important/very-important/this.fish
$
touch important/test.fish
$
ls ***important/***.fish
important/test.fish
important/very-important/this.fish
$
ls ***/***.fish
important/test.fish
important/very-important/this.fish
usual/not-interested.fish
# where is test.fish from working directory?
# logically, it's not there, because we asked for
# anything/anything.fish
# but...
# test.fish may be also accessed as
# ./test.fish
# . is a link to this directory
# .. as you may know is a link to parent directory
# so ***/***.fish may work...
# as **\/*.fish works in zsh shell
# but documentation warns you that it doesn't
# (work this way in fish shell)
