Required argument `--pattern` not found even when given about erdtree HOT 3 OPEN

That is a bug. I'll work on getting that fixed ASAP. As for your questions:

1. Globbing for different file-types in one query isn't supported, but I'll work on getting that supported for the next release.
2. Could you provide an example for this use-case? I don't see how this would work given that erd expects only a single positional argument which is the directory to traverse, but perhaps it'll make sense once I see what you're trying to accomplish.

With log files or static assets or in just a lot of cases, it happen that I have a couple hundred files in a directory. With ls I would do ls *-2023-08-* to list out all log files in august. I can do this with erd as well but it requires quoting. erd --glob --pattern '*-2023-08-*'. Even without the globs, sometimes I want to check whether a file just exists or not so running ls with the filename is what I do. Doing the same with erd fails with either can't compute root node or too many arguments.

It's not a huge problem to be honest, but old habits die hard.

ahhh okay that makes sense. Ignore what I said earlier about it not being possible, I didn't correctly envision what you were asking for. It should definitely be possible. I'll add that into my list of todos to include in the next release.
