A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'

I like this program a lot better than find

notable options:

• -e, --extension: filter results by the given file extension. Can give multiple
• -E, --exclude: exclude files/directories that match the given pattern
• -g, --glob: use glob syntax instead of regex
• -H, --hidden: include directories and files starting with a . in the search
• -t, --type: search by type. f = file, d = directory (more options, but those are the two I use)
• -u, --unrestricted: include ignored and hidden files in the search
• -x, --exec: execute a command for each result in parallel
  • replaces a lot of find | xargs pipes; an example from the docs is, to convert all *.jpg to *.png with imagemagick:
    • fd -e jpg -x convert {} {.}.png

find all empty files and delete them:

fd -t empty -t file -x rm

(find all empty files, execute rm)

list all dotfiles in the home directory, without recursing:

fd -d1 -u '^\.' ~

(-d1 to not recurse, -d == --depth. -u as above)
