How to add CODEOWNER for all the files in a repository

Question

I have a repo where I've to enforce reviews from a specific team. I want to ensure that any changes in the existing files or adding new files be reviewed by someone from that team. I saw various examples where we can restrict it based on a specific directory path or a specific file path.

e.g.

/*    <team handle>      // the team is the owner of all files in the root directory
/*/*  <team handle>      // all files in any directory at the root level, but not the subdirectories

But I couldn't find a simple way to use a team for all files in CODEOWNERS file.

Can someone guide me on that?

Thanks!

Found the answer. The correct way to apply code ownership for all files in the repo is

./**            <team handle>

HTH!
