I'm personally confused as to when to use
*and**. In the hello world style example on http://editorconfig.org they show[*]as a sort of default setting for all files, but they also explain how * does not include slashes. So wouldn't that mean that this rule will match only files in the root dir? That would be a very odd default, so I must be mistaken. I just can't find an explanation for it.There was a problem hiding this comment.

That's the thing that confuses me too about editorconfig. I think
*is fine for a catch-all, but you should double check if the correct files match with the CLI tool.There was a problem hiding this comment.

@ronkorving this works because patterns without a slash are equivalent to
**/pattern(essentially matching in the root directory and all child directories). If you need to match something specifically in the root, add an initial slash like/*(which will only match top-level files). We modeled this after the way globs work in.gitignore.
