## Glob patterns
As your chart grows, you may find you have a greater need to organize your
files more, and so we provide a `Files.Glob(pattern string)` method to assist
in extracting certain files with all the flexibility of [glob patterns](//godoc.org/github.com/gobwas/glob).
For example, imagine the directory structure:
```
foo/:
foo.txt foo.yaml
bar/:
bar.go bar.conf baz.yaml
```
You have multiple options with Globs:
```yaml
{{ range $path := .Files.Glob "**.yaml" }}
{{ $path }}: |
{{ .Files.Get $path }}
{{ end }}
```
Or
```yaml
{{range $path,$bytes:= .Files.Glob "foo/*"}}
{{$path}}:'{{b64enc$bytes}}'
{{end}}
```
