 Create a `.github/labeler.yml` file with a list of labels and [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch) globs to match to apply the label.
 
-The key is the name of the label in your repository that you want to add (eg: "merge conflict", "needs-updating") and the value is the path (glob) of the changed files (eg: `src/**/*`, `tests/*.spec.js`)
+The key is the name of the label in your repository that you want to add (eg: "merge conflict", "needs-updating") and the value is the path (glob) of the changed files (eg: `src/**/*`, `tests/*.spec.js`) or a match object.
+
+#### Match Object
+
+For more control over matching, you can provide a match object instead of a simple path glob. The match object is defined as:
+
+```yml
+- any: ['list', 'of', 'globs']
+  all: ['list', 'of', 'globs']
+```
+
+One or both fields can be provided for fine-grained matching. Unlike the top-level list, the list of path globs provided to `any` and `all` must ALL match against a path for the label to be applied.
+
+The fields are defined as follows:
+* `any`: match ALL globs against ANY changed path
+* `all`: match ALL globs against ALL changed paths
+
+A simple path glob is the equivalent to `any: ['glob']`. More specifically, the following two configurations are equivalent:
+```yml
+label1:
+- example1/*
+```
+and
+```yml
+label1:
+- any: ['example1/*']
+```
+
+From a boolean logic perspective, top-level match objects are `OR`-ed together and indvidual match rules within an object are `AND`-ed. Combined with `!` negation, you can write complex matching rules.
