fd
Simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find
fd
is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find
.
While it does not seek to mirror all of find
’s powerful functionality, it provides sensible
(opinionated) defaults for 80% of the use cases.
- Convenient syntax:
fd PATTERN
instead offind -iname 'PATTERN'
. - Colorized terminal output (similar to
ls
). - It’s fast.
- 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. - Regular expressions.
- Unicode-awareness.
- Parallel command execution with a syntax similar to GNU Parallel.
