Problem with Autometa binning tool

Hello this is a very specific software question but I can't access to my GitHub account to ask on the program issues page.

I have been using a set of metagneomic binning tools and all of them have pretty the same usage concept where the user provides a set of bam/sam files to the tool to perform coverage estimations along the set of contigs. Reeding and testing Autometa I see the tool only accepts one bam file as input. If I have a set of bam files how can I provide them to the tool?

I configure the "bam" variable appointing to the absolute path of the bam files ("/path-to/*.bam") as it is mentioned here: https://autometa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bash-workflow.html but I got error message (the program cannot read multiple bam apparently and only reads one)

How can I provide multiple bam files? should I concatenate them?

sorry again for not posting this on the Autometa GitHub page.
