DESCRIPTION
fdfind (or fd) is a simple, fast, and user-friendly alternative to find, written in Rust. It uses regex patterns by default and respects .gitignore files, making it ideal for searching code repositories.The command provides colorful output, sensible defaults that ignore hidden and gitignored files, and parallel execution for better performance. On Debian-based systems, the binary is named fdfind to avoid conflicts with another package.
