fd: Blazing Fast File Finder (23x Faster than find)
2025-03-19
fd is a faster and more user-friendly alternative to the find command. It boasts intuitive syntax, parallelized directory traversal, and smart case matching, defaulting to ignoring hidden files and .gitignore entries. Supporting both regular expressions and glob patterns, fd offers extensive options to customize searches, including specifying root directories, file types, sizes, modification times, and more. It integrates seamlessly with other commands such as `ls`, `rm`, `rg`, and `fzf`. Benchmark tests demonstrate fd's significant speed advantage over find in large filesystems, achieving up to 23 times faster performance.
