This GitHub action helps you to validate the file structure as you expected. The validate rule will follow the brace-expansion. For a more official definition, please refer to https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Brace-Expansion

render diff result with 'vertical' or 'horizontal'

the output of execution.

• create a 'demo' folder
• npm init to create your nodejs package
• copy 'sample_folder' to demo
• npm install anyone-validate-fs to install module
• create 'index.js' and copy code below:

const avfs = require('@anyone-developer/anyone-validate-fs');

avfs.setRenderLayout("horizontal").diff(
    './sample_folder',
    '{x/p,y/f,{a,b/{ba1,ba2,bb1,bb2},c,d}/{a.qa.config,b.prd.config}}',
    "README.md",
    ".git"
).then(resolve => {
	console.info(resolve.diff);
}, error => {
	if (error && error.diff) {
		console.error(`${error.diff}`);
	}
});

here is repl.it online editor: https://repl.it/@EdwardRoshan/anyone-validate-fs-demo

• node index.js to run it

• npm install -g anyone-validate-fs to install gobally
• anyone-validate-fs -r './sample_folder' -b '{a,b/{ba1,ba2,bb1,bb2},c,d}/{a.qa.config,b.prd.config}' -I ".git" -i "README.md" to use your bash to execute it.
• you would get same result with above screenshot
