fd

An alternative to find. Aims to be faster and easier to use than find. More information: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd#how-to-use.

• Recursively find files matching a specific pattern in the current directory:

fd "{{string|regex}}"

• Find files that begin with a specific string:

fd "{{^string}}"

• Find files with a specific extension:

fd {{[-e|--extension]}} {{txt}}

• Find files in a specific directory:

fd "{{string|regex}}" {{path/to/directory}}

• Include ignored and hidden files in the search:

fd {{[-H|--hidden]}} {{[-I|--no-ignore]}} "{{string|regex}}"

• Execute a command on each search result returned:

fd "{{string|regex}}" {{[-x|--exec]}} {{command}}
