fd

[中文] [한국어]

fd is a program to find entries in your filesystem. It is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not aim to support all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for a majority of use cases.

Features

• Intuitive syntax: fd PATTERN instead of find -iname '*PATTERN*'.
• Regular expression (default) and glob-based patterns.
• Very fast due to parallelized directory traversal.
• Uses colors to highlight different file types (same as ls).
• Supports parallel command execution
• Smart case: the search is case-insensitive by default. It switches to case-sensitive if the pattern contains an uppercase character*.
• Ignores hidden directories and files, by default.
• Ignores patterns from your .gitignore, by default.
• The command name is 50% shorter* than find :-).
