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 of find -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.
