fd (sometimes called fd-find on Debian/Ubuntu) is a modern, fast, and user-friendly alternative to the classic Linux find command. Written in Rust, it focuses on simplicity, speed, and smart defaults.
Unlike find, fd automatically ignores hidden files and directories, respects .gitignore, and provides colorized output. If you use vim split screens or manage users with useradd, integrating fd will speed up workflows. It also pairs well with apt when locating configuration or log files.
Whether you’re on Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, or Red Hat derivatives, fd makes finding files intuitive without sacrificing power.
