# Globbing sources



```toml
[project]
name = "globbing"
description = "Globbing sources"

# Recursively glob in the mylib/ folder
[target.mylib]
type = "static"
alias = "mylib::mylib"
sources = ["mylib/**.hpp", "mylib/**.cpp"]
include-directories = ["mylib/include"]

# Single-folder glob in example/src/
[target.example]
type = "executable"
sources = ["example/src/*.cpp"]
link-libraries = ["mylib::mylib"]
```

As you can see in the example above you can use `**.ext` to glob recursively and `*.ext` to glob non-recursively. This **does not** generate `file(GLOB ...)` commands, but instead globs when cmkr is run. Files are sorted to give deterministic results regardless of the platform used.
