sharkdp/fd

This system is a high-performance, parallel file finder implemented in Rust, designed as a fast and user-friendly alternative to traditional shell-based search tools. It provides robust file discovery capabilities with advanced filtering options for size, time, and ownership, alongside support for regex pattern matching and logical conjunctions. The tool also enables direct command execution on search results through batch or individual processing modes. To ensure reliability and ease of use, it includes comprehensive shell completions, formal documentation, and a modernized testing infrastructure.

Users can now execute external commands on search results using the new --exec (one-by-one) and --exec-batch (batched) flags. This feature introduces a new execution module that handles command generation, output buffering, and exit code aggregation, allowing users to pipe or process found files directly through other tools.

Users of Zsh now receive native tab-completion support for the \fd\ command, including intelligent filtering for file types (such as block and character devices), options like \--hyperlink\ and \--prune\, and argument grouping. The \fdfind\ alias is also fully supported in Zsh, Bash, and Fish, with specific fixes applied to ensure correct completion behavior for flags like \--version\ and proper alias resolution in Debian packages.

contrib · high confidence

The documentation directory now includes a formal man page (fd.1) covering command-line options, a release checklist to guide maintainers through version bumps and publishing, and a script to generate an animated screencast for the README. A .gitattributes file is also added to mark the new SVG logo as vendored.

doc · high confidence

New shell scripts have been added to automate the release process: create-archive.sh builds distribution archives (tar.gz/zip) for various targets, create-deb.sh generates Debian packages with correct architecture detection, conflict handling, and shell completion symlinks, version-bump.sh automates version updates in Cargo.toml and documentation, and update-help.awk regenerates CLI help text in documentation.

This change establishes the foundational structure for the fd project by adding the initial source code, build configuration (Makefile, Cross.toml, rustfmt.toml), and comprehensive documentation (README, CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY). It also sets the licensing terms under MIT/Apache-2.0 and configures build artifacts (target, autocomplete, package) to be ignored by Git.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The tool has been rewritten in Rust, replacing the previous shell-script implementation. This change introduces a new CLI structure using clap, a parallel directory walker, and support for features such as colorized output, hyperlinks, and custom format templates.

src · high confidence

The \src/filter\ module has been introduced to centralize and expand file filtering logic. Users can now filter results by file size using the \--size\ flag, supporting both SI (e.g., \+1k\) and binary (e.g., \+1ki\) prefixes for minimum, maximum, and exact matches. Time-based filtering via \--changed-within\ and \--changed-before\ has been refactored to use the \jiff\ library, enabling more robust parsing of relative spans, absolute dates, and UTC timestamps (prefixed with \@\). On Unix systems, a new \--owner\ filter allows matching files by user or group ID, supporting negation with the \!\ prefix (e.g., \!root\) and handling both numeric IDs and names.

Integration tests for the \--and\ flag and pattern matching; New Rust-based integration test environment.

The fd-find project has updated its minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) to 1.90.0 and upgraded the Rust edition to 2024. Several core dependencies have been bumped to their latest versions, including clap to 4.6.1, regex to 1.12.2, and nix to 0.31.1, while replacing the chrono library with jiff for time handling. The Cargo.lock file has been regenerated to reflect these changes, ensuring consistent builds across the updated dependency tree.
