While it does not seek to mirror all of find's powerful functionality, fd provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for 80% of the use cases.

Features:

* Convenient syntax: ‘fd PATTERN’ instead of ‘find -iname '*PATTERN*'’. * Colorized terminal output (similar to ls). * It's fast, often faster than find. * Smart case. * Ignores hidden directories and files, by default. * Ignores patterns from your .gitignore, by default. * Regular expressions. * Unicode-awareness. * Parallel command execution with a syntax similar to GNU Parallel.

Please note: the executable and the associated manpage were renamed from ‘fd’ to ‘fdfind’ because of a file name clash.
