fd – A Simple and Fast Alternative to Find Command

Most of the Linux users are well familiar with the find command and the many cases it can be used. Today we are going to review an alternative to find command, called fd.

fd, is a simple, fast and user-friendly tool meant to simply perform faster compared to find. It is not meant to completely replace find, but rather give you an easy to use alternative that performs slightly faster.

Some of the notable features of fd:

  1. Easy to use syntax – fd *pattern* instead of find -iname *pattern*.
  2. Colorful output similar to the one of ls command.
  3. Fast performance. Developer’s benchmarks are available here.
  4. Smart search with case-insensitive by default and switches to case sensitive if patter containers an uppercase symbol.
  5. Does not look in hidden files and directories by default.
  6. Does not look into .gitignore by default.
  7. Unicode awareness.
