Consider the following file structure:
root
|- folder1
|- folder2
|- folderN
|- file1
|- file2
|- fileN
How to target only files without excluding (!) each folder one by one?

if there is finite list of extensions specify it using extensions `**\*.[js|css|html]` – harishr Sep 14 '15 at 07:20

Can you clarify? Which one of those files and folders do you want to have selected? – ddprrt Sep 14 '15 at 20:44

@ddprrt files 1 to n should be selected. – Handsome Nerd Sep 15 '15 at 01:37

So you just want the files in that certain root directory, without the folders and contents of those folders.
The glob you are looking for is *. This one selects all the files inside the directory you are currently. Or use root/* if you want to select all the files inside the root folder without its subfolders. To select subfolders and subfolder content, you have to use the Globstar: **
You can test your glob easily here:

Thanks. While your linked site show the desired result, it actually will mach folders without content. If for example you want use that glob to copy that place to anther location using gulp, if will copy empty folders as well. – Handsome Nerd Sep 15 '15 at 11:34
