How do you run models in a path?

dbt Developer Hub states

The --models flag accepts one or more arguments. Each argument can be one of:
3. a path hierarchy to a models directory

Examples:
dbt run --models path.to.my.models # runs all models in a specific directory
dbt run --models path.to.models.* # select all models in path/to/models

For example, my project has a structure like:

  • models/base/
  • models/blue/
  • models/green/
  • models/red/

And I only want to build the models in the models/red/ folder. How would I do that?

Am I misunderstanding the documentation?
