fd is a modern replacement for find, written in Rust. It provides intuitive syntax, colorful output, smart defaults, and significant performance improvements over traditional find.
By default, fd ignores hidden files and respects .gitignore patterns. It uses regex patterns rather than glob, provides parallel command execution, and produces human-friendly output.
fd aims to cover 80% of find use cases with simpler syntax while being faster through parallelization.

Regex by default (not glob). Ignores hidden and gitignored files by default. Not a complete find replacement.

fd was created by David Peter as a simpler, faster alternative to find. Written in Rust, it emphasizes user experience with sensible defaults and modern terminal output.
