Find is an incredibly powerful command line utility for finding files and folders and much more. Just looking at the man pages for find can be intimidating, but hopefully, this tutorial will give you the introduction you need to get the most out of find.

  • Excellent tutorial, thank you! The "find" command is one of those I never really managed to learn properly... until now!

    I'd also like to ask you what are those 7 first lines in your terminal. I believe they show up whenever you open your terminal, right? How did you manage to set those up? Thanks for everything!
