Danger: remove with wildcard

tautme opened this issue · comments

What do you think about not using wildcards with the remove command?

In the second section Makefiles, the learner is asked to enter

rm *.dat *.png

I accidental entered:

rm *.dat * .png

02-makefiles.md

Thanks for the issue. What would you propose instead of using wildcards?
