+# Find Top-Level Directories Matching A Pattern
+
+I like using [`fd`](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) as an alternative to `find`.
+In my experience it is more intuitive to use. For instance, I wanted to find
+all the top-level directories in my current directory that contained the word
+`next`. I was able to get the command mostly right by guessing the flags, only
+checking the man page once.
+
+On my first attempt, it prompted me with a suggestion for a flag that wasn't
+quite right. I tried `--depth`, but it should have been `--maxdepth`.
+
+```bash
+$ fd --depth 0 next ./
+error: Found argument '--depth' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context
+        Did you mean --maxdepth?
+```
+
+Then I checked the man page for how to specify the file type as _directory_ --
+using `-t` or `--type` with `d`.
+
+And here is the command that gets me all top-level directories matching `next`
+in my current directory:
+
+```bash
+$ fd --maxdepth 1 --type d next ./
+

+bookshelf-prisma-nextjs-planetscale
+my-next-app
+next-bookshelf
+next-personal-site
+next-sanity-v3-example
+try-trpc-next
+```
+
+See `man fd` for more details.
