Who hasn't typed a risky command? Throw the first stone!

DOS user detected! In linux you don’t need *.*, you can just use *

well, depending on your shell

Which shell interprets * as everything before extension?

Well I’m not necessarily commenting on the *.* but * will skip .files in bash.

I think *. * also skips them

*.* will likely expect a file named *. and then delete any file globbed, but still leave dotfiles. At least in bash.

In my shell it would just error at me and be mad fish doesn’t work like ‘bash` in this specific case
