 > *   For mono repositories where pulling all branch history might not be desired, you can still use the default [`fetch-depth`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage), which is set to `1` for `pull_request` events.
 > *   Avoid using single or double quotes for multiline inputs, as the value is already a string separated by a newline character. See [Examples](#examples) for more information.
 > *   If [`fetch-depth`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage) isn't set to `0`, ensure that [`persist-credentials`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage) is set to `true` when configuring [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage).
+> *   For matching all files and folders under a directory you'll need to use `dir_name/**`
