+#### Negation Patterns
+You can use negation patterns (starting with `!`) in glob arrays to exclude files from removal:

+```sh
+$ npx remove --glob "src/**/*.js" --glob "!src/**/*.test.js"
+# This will remove all .js files except those ending with .test.js

+#### Brace Expansion
+Brace expansion is supported in glob patterns:
+
+```sh
+$ npx remove --glob "src/*.{js,ts}"
+# This will match both .js and .ts files in src/

+- **Negation**: Use `!pattern` in a glob array to exclude files from removal.
