Bash globbing - autoexpand for a few specific cases?
I understand that the wildcard * (by itself) will expand in such a way that it means "all non-hidden files in the current folder" with hidden files being those prefixed by a period. There are two use cases that I would think are useful, but I don't know how to properly do: How can you glob for... "All files in the current folder, including hidden files, but not including . or .. "? How can you glob for... "All hidden files (and only hidden files) in the current folder, but not including . or .. "? sth To expand on paviums answer and answer the second part of your question, all files except .
