However note I couldn't yet figure out using wild cards fully

1. By default it seem to use every file that has this name in it

2. for example "Utils.java" means "*Utils.java*"

3. Just FYI for now

Few personal naming standards

1. Name them xyz-repo

2. Use the -repo for the names

3. This is useful when tools like vscode clones them using that name as a directory name locally

4. Also vscode puts them in a root directory that is shared with other repos

5. For example the "root" could be "c:\some-root\(many repos)"

6. So when vscode asks for a root to clone use "c:\some-root"
