A faster alternative to minimatch (10-45x faster on avg), with all the features you're used to using in your Grunt and gulp tasks. * [parse-glob](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/parse-glob): Parse a glob pattern into an object of tokens. ## Run tests Install dev dependencies. ```bash npm i -d && npm test ``` ## Contributing Pull requests and stars are always welcome.
