How does pattern work? about addlicense HOT 6 OPEN

Guys,

Glob usage can be different due to terminal differences.
For example, if you are using zsh, **/*.go is just works. But you are on bash it does not by default.

I think the clearest way to use addlicense is using it with find command.
As an example to identical with **/*.go:
addlicense -check -v -l bsd -c "Bla Bla." $(find . -name "*.go" -type f -print0 | xargs -0)

from addlicense.

I took a deeper look last night and it doesn't look like this is actually implemented? If that's the case @nblair and I were thinking of doing so, if y'all would welcome a PR!

This seems to be working for me with ./*.go and just individual filenames. What were you trying @DarthHater

from addlicense.

Basically, I just want to exclude stuff like README.md, etc... that really don't need a license file. I'll give it a twirl with your suggestion!

@DarthHater For reference, there's a similar project: https://github.com/elastic/go-licenser

Although it has less features, it'll walk the whole tree for you from the starting path you give it and will only apply the license to files that have the extension as defined by the -ext flag. I think it may only work for .go files, though.

I ended up having to use this other tool because //go:generate doesn't play nicely with wild cards.

@justmumu -- We ended up using addlicense with the same technique you describe.
