fd v8.1.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-05-19 // almost 4 years ago
  • 🔋 Features

    • ➕ Add new --owner [user][:group] command-line option See #307 (pull #581) (@alexmaco)
      This can be used to filter results by ownership:

      files matching the 'exercise' pattern, owned by johnfd exercise --type file --owner john# files/directories that are not owned by johnfd --owner '!john'# … owned by the 'students' groupfd --owner ':students'# … owned by the 'students' group, but not by johnfd --owner '!john:students'

    🏁 Note that the new option is currently not available on Windows.

    • ➕ Add support for a global ignore file (~/.config/fd/ignore on Unix), see #575 (@soedirgo)
    • 👀 Do not exit immediately if one of the search paths is missing, see #587 (@DJRHails)
