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:
- The default base directory is your home. To specify another, simply type it. Ex: ffinder /usr/bin/my_dir My file
- To search inside the current directory (cd command), specify the -c flag. Ex: ffinder -c My file
- To expand the search to Hidden Directories, specify the -h flag. Ex: ffinder -h My File
- 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
