ffinder

Rust CLI program for smart-finding files in Linux.

Recommended Installation: Copy ffinder to /usr/bin to call it anytime:

git clone https://github.com/speltriao/ffinder && cd ffinder && chmod +x ffinder && sudo cp ffinder /usr/bin

After, just open a terminal and use ffinder normally.



Basic usage: Simply type the file that you are searching.

Ex:
ffinder My file

Note: The search paramater doesn't need to be identical to the file being searched, ffinder tries to be flexible. It also ignores some special characters and intelligently transform others (such as '-' , '_' and ',').



Advanced usage:

  1. The default base directory is your home. To specify another, simply type it. Ex: ffinder /usr/bin/my_dir My file
  2. To search inside the current directory (cd command), specify the -c flag. Ex: ffinder -c My file
  3. To expand the search to Hidden Directories, specify the -h flag. Ex: ffinder -h My File
  4. If the file extension is especified, ffinder will only return results with the given extension.



Uninstall: Remove ffinder from /usr/bin:

sudo rm /usr/bin/ffinder
