title: What does *G* mean in bash echo?
body: <p>Not too often, but frequently enough to annoy me, when I put the string <code>*G*</code> in a variable and "echo" it back, I see some file names, usually from a text file in the directory to which BASH is pointed. I thought that might be an auto-complete function, but I can't find anything on it in those areas. Could someone tell me what's happening when I echo a string with that combination of characters? I'd like to "turn it off" if I could, possibly.  </p>
