# Find Files With fd
|
||||
|
||||
The [`fd` command](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) is an open-source utility
|
||||
written in Rust. It is a fast and user-friendly way to find files -- as
|
||||
compared to the standard `find` command.
|
||||
|
||||
You can recursively look in the current directory for a file with `git` in
|
||||
the name like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ fd git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a `.gitignore` file, it will ignore those files and directories
|
||||
by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Providing a second argument, `fd` will start its recursive search from that
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ fd git ~
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here, `fd` will look for filenames with `git` everywhere within my home
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
|
||||
You can `brew install fd` to get the command and `man fd` for more details.
