    fd is a massive upgrade to find - I appreciate the better UI and skipping hidden files is usually a big time saver (although I do find myself needing -H or specifying the directory a fair amount).

      yeah, I keep forgetting to do -H every f-ing time and have to run the comand a second time, tracking the cursor through the line…

    Slightly off topic: How do you do so many posts in one day? I count 57 different posts for Mar 28

      What do you mean? Technically, the act of posting? Finding the things to post? Finding relevancy? Finding the time to do so?

    fd seems to be nice and I hate the syntax of find. However I only ever use it for one thing - searching a file recursively, often with a wildcard for files with a certain extension, that’s it. I guess I could do that with an alias or a small script as well…

      fd is a lot faster than find. This might not matter if you’re searching through small directories but if you’re working in a very large project it does make things a lot nicer.

      The attached image says “(see more with ‘–help’)”. And, in fact (I just tried it), the output of --help contains a lot more detail.

      Edit: for more information, fd uses the command line argument parser library clap, which has both help and long_help properties for arguments, which are displayed for -h and --help, respectively.
