glob_matcher

Configure which glob matching engine lefthook uses to filter files.

Values:

• gobwas (default): see https://github.com/gobwas/glob
• doublestar: Usual glob behavior (like in Bash)

Example

# lefthook.yml

glob_matcher: doublestar

pre-commit:
  jobs:
    - name: lint
      run: yarn eslint {staged_files}
      glob: "**/*.{js,ts}"

Behaviour comparison

# gobwas (default): **/*.js matches src/app.js but NOT app.js
# doublestar:       **/*.js matches app.js, src/app.js, a/b/c/app.js

Use doublestar when migrating from other tools or when you need ** to match files at any depth including the root. The setting applies globally to all glob and exclude patterns and is backwards compatible.
