## What
`fileglob` is a glob library that uses [gobwas/glob](https://github.com/gobwas/glob) underneath
and returns only matching files or direcories, depending on the configuration. Due to this great foundation, `fileglob` supports:
* Asterisk wildcards (`*`)
* Super-asterisk wildcards (`**`)
* Single symbol wildcards (`?`)
* Character list matchers with negation and ranges (`[abc]`, `[!abc]`, `[a-c]`)
* Alternative matchers (`{a,b}`)
* Nested globbing (`{a,[bc]}`)
* Escapable wildcards (`\{a\}/\*` and `fileglob.QuoteMeta(pattern)`)
By also building on top of `fs.FS`, a range of alternative filesystems as well as custom filesystems are supported.
## Why
[gobwas/glob](https://github.com/gobwas/glob) is very well implemented: it has
a lexer, compiler, and all that, which seems like a better approach than most
libraries do: regex.
It doesn't have a `Walk` method though, and we needed it
[in a couple of places](https://github.com/goreleaser/fileglob/issues/232).
So we decided to implement it ourselves, a little bit based on how
[mattn/go-zglob](http://github.com/mattn/go-zglob) works.
