MacVim Add all project files to buffer list

Question

I'm using MacVim with The NERD tree plugin and am opening my files by navigating to my project directory in terminal and typing mvim *. I'd like to load each of my project files into the buffer list so that I can conveniently navigate between buffers and I've tried :args *, but that only created a new file called *.rb. How can I add all of my project files to the buffer list?

Answer 1

:args **/*.rb

will load recursively every ruby file under the current directory in the arglist.

** is used for recursive search.

Note that the argument list is not exactly the same as the buffer list. See their respective doc entries.
