fd¶

--- Basic Search ---

To search for files matching a pattern (regex by default):

fd <pattern>

To search in a specific directory

fd <pattern> <directory>

To search for a specific file extension

fd -e <extension>

To search using a glob pattern

fd -g <glob_pattern>

--- Hidden & Ignored Files ---

To include hidden files:

fd -H <pattern>

To include files listed in .gitignore

fd -I <pattern>

To include both hidden and ignored files

fd -HI <pattern>

--- Filtering ---

To search only for files:

fd -t f <pattern>

To search only for directories

fd -t d <pattern>

To search only for symlinks

fd -t l <pattern>

To exclude specific files or directories

fd -E <exclude_pattern> <pattern>

To filter by file size (e.g. larger than 1MB)

fd --size +1m <pattern>

To filter by modification time (e.g. modified in last 7 days)

fd --changed-within 7d <pattern>

--- Output ---

To print absolute paths:

fd --absolute-path <pattern>

To limit search depth

fd --max-depth <n> <pattern>

To list all files recursively (no pattern)

fd

--- Executing Commands ---

To run a command on each result:

fd <pattern> -x <command> {}

To run a command on all results at once

fd <pattern> -X <command> {}

To delete all matching files (use with caution)

fd <pattern> -x rm {}
