- jmnicolas 6y agoDon't get me started on "man find". I usually end up googling it (I don't use the terminal frequently). Why can't I type "find toto.txt" and it looks for the file everywhere? If I need a more complex search I'm fine providing more arguments but give me something by default so that I don't spend 10 minutes trying to find how to use find ;) Yes I could make an alias, but it won't be available everywhere.
- jdowner 6y agoYou might find, https://github.com/sharkdp/fd https://github.com/sharkdp/fd to your liking. It is simple, intuitive, and very fast.
- approxim8ion 6y agolocate (mlocate) does that, but it's not find's job to do it. I understand why the naming might be unfortunate though.
