-Dotbot uses [glob.glob](https://docs.python.org/3/library/glob.html#glob.glob)
-to resolve glob paths. However, due to its design, using a glob path such as
-`config/*` for example, will not match items that begin with `.`. To
-specifically capture items that begin with `.`, you will need to use a path
-like this: `config/.*`.
+When `glob: True`, Dotbot uses [glob.glob](https://docs.python.org/3/library/glob.html#glob.glob) to resolve glob paths, expanding Unix shell-style wildcards, which are **not** the same as regular expressions; Only the following are expanded:

+| `*`      | matches anything                                       |
+| `?`      | matches any single character                           |

+However, due to the design of `glob.glob`, using a glob pattern such as `config/*`, will **not** match items that being with `.`. To specifically capture items that being with `.`, you will need to include the `.` in the pattern, like this: `config/.*`.
