fd

cool alternative to find, ignores things like .git and node_modules etc.

find exact match

let's say I want to search for curl in a folder, but not for curl.rb

fd -g curl /opt/homebrew

this might not yield any results, so combine it with -u to ignore the smart ignore list (the cool feature about fd... yes):

fd -gu curl /opt/homebrew

ignore ignore list

ignore the ignore list to find things, major major major major. aka unrestricted mode

fd -u <pattern> /your/path

include hidden files

fd -uu <pattern> /your/path
