 - The `.*` is a `glob` matcher, which translates to *cat every file that starts with the character `.` and has an indefinite number of characters after it.* We use it for brevity's sake, as it sidesteps knowing the name of the file inside the `inhere` directory entirely. The only problem is the two error messages output by `cat`, indicating it tried to output the contents of a directory instead of a file.
