fd

Build Status

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.

Features

  • Convenient syntax: fd PATTERN instead of find -iname '*PATTERN*'.
  • 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.
  • Colorized terminal output (similar to ls).
  • Regular expressions by default.
  • Unicode-aware.
  • The command name is 50% shorter* than find :-).
