如何用单个Glob表达式匹配子目录级@c8y目录内容

Got it, let's nail down that single glob expression you need. The core goal here is to only match @c8y directories that sit at least one level deep (not directly in the root), while excluding the root-level @c8y/apps and @c8y/client.

The Working Glob Expression #

**/*/@c8y/**

Why This Works #

Let's break it down piece by piece:

• **: Matches any number of directories (including zero, but we pair it with * to force at least one parent folder)
• *: Requires exactly one directory segment before @c8y—this is the critical piece that rules out root-level @c8y entries
• @c8y/: Targets the specific subdirectory we want to match
• **: Matches any files or nested subdirectories inside the targeted @c8y folder

Testing Against Your Paths #

• ❌ Excluded: @c8y/apps, @c8y/client (no parent directory exists before @c8y, so the * segment can't find a match)
• ✅ Matched: project-a/@c8y/client, project-b/@c8y/client, foo/@c8y/client, and all other nested @c8y entries (each has a parent directory that the * segment captures)

Why Your Previous Attempts Failed #

• **/@c8y/**: This matches root-level @c8y directories because ** can resolve to an empty path—so it effectively becomes @c8y/** for root entries, which is exactly what you wanted to avoid.
• {!,**/}@c8y/**: This syntax doesn't properly enforce the parent directory requirement in most glob parsers. It's not a valid way to exclude root-level matches while including nested ones.

Quick Note #

This works in most modern glob implementations (like Node.js's glob package, or tools that use it such as Webpack, Rollup, etc.). If you're using a more minimal glob parser, double-check that it supports the ** wildcard for recursive matching.
