fd is a user-friendly program for finding entries in your filesystem, offering intuitive syntax, regular expression and glob-based patterns, and fast directory traversal. It highlights file types with colors, supports parallel command execution, and smart case search. By default, it ignores hidden directories/files and patterns from .gitignore. With a shorter command name than find, fd’s features include full path matching, excluding specific files/directories, and executing commands for search results. With impressive speed compared to find, fd colorizes files and can be integrated with other programs like fzf and rofi. Note the need for -u/–unrestricted option for full search and special handling of regex patterns in the shell.
