fd

We have hosted the application fd in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about fd:

fd is a program to find entries in your filesytem. It is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not aim to support all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for a majority of use cases. First, to get an overview of all available command line options, you can either run fd -h for a concise help message or fd --help for a more detailed version. fd is designed to find entries in your filesystem. The most basic search you can perform is to run fd with a single argument: the search pattern. Instead of just showing the search results, you often want to do something with them. fd provides two ways to execute external commands for each of your search results: the -x/--exec option runs an external command for each of the search results (in parallel), or the -X/--exec-batch option launches the external command once, with all search results as arguments.

Features:

• Regular expression (default) and glob-based patterns
• Very fast due to parallelized directory traversal
• Uses colors to highlight different file types
• Supports parallel command execution
• Ignores hidden directories and files, by default
• Ignores patterns from your .gitignore, by default

Programming Language: Rust.
