Definitely. The whole Unix philosophy of each command doing one thing and being easily composable always seemed to break down in my mind when it came to find. find does a lot.
similar to ripgrep, though, fd is a modern replacement that’s a bit friendlier to use.
- jimmaswell 18d agofind is absolute agony once you get a taste of fd.
- internet_points 18d agoI tried fd but it seems to ignore so much that it's basically useless. If I wanted `git ls-files|grep` I would `git ls-files|grep` yells at cloud ..it's probably ok actually and I should give it a real go, but I'm too used to find and even have a keybinding in my ~/.inputrc to insert a find + where loop "\e\C-f": "find . -type f -print0|while read -rd '' f; do ; done\e-b\C-b\C-b\C-b\C-b\C-b\C-b" (yes I know about -exec; I find the loop easier to work with)
