github - CODEOWNERS syntax: /foobar/** vs /foobar/

Question

Assuming I want to enforce on some directory (e.g. foobar) on my git repository hosted on GitHub a code owner. In the CODEOWNERS file I can specify:

/foobar/** @someuser

But also this would be possible:

/foobar/ @someuser

Is there any difference between these two ways? Is it exactly the same?

Unfortunately, the documentation does not contain any description about this.
