find

Jun 05, 2023

Find all files in the current directory that end in *.js or *.ts, but ignore paths containing node_modules:

find . \( -iname '*.js' -o -iname '*.ts' \) -not -path '*node_modules*'

Equivalent fd command:

fd -g --exclude node_modules '*.{ts,js}'

or, fd --exclude node_modules '\.(js|ts)$', using regex instead of glob search.

-E is a shortcut for --exclude


Find all empty files and delete them:

find . -type f -empty -print -delete
