About:
Ffind is a command-line utility that provides a more intuitive and powerful alternative to the standard find command.

This tool helps users quickly locate files without needing to remember esoteric find flags.

Key Features:

Simpler, more readable command syntax
Supports regular expressions and logical operators
Filters by file type, size, and modification time
Ignores version control directories by default

Use Cases:

Quickly finding source code files across large projects
Locating log files or documents based on complex criteria
Simplifying shell scripts that rely on file system searches

Alternatives:

find – The standard Unix utility; more powerful but with a notoriously difficult syntax.
fd – A modern, fast alternative written in Rust; focuses on speed and sensible defaults.
