The fd
command is an open-source utility
written in Rust. It is a fast and user-friendly way to find files -- as
compared to the standard find
command.
You can recursively look in the current directory for a file with git
in
the name like so:
$ fd git
If you have a .gitignore
file, it will ignore those files and directories
by default.
Providing a second argument, fd
will start its recursive search from that
directory.
$ fd git ~
Here, fd
will look for filenames with git
everywhere within my home
directory.
You can brew install fd
to get the command and man fd
for more details.
