I found switching to fd challenging. fd makes some of the options easy. But find and fd are not syntactically the same. I guess I didn't spend enough time with it.

No, you are probably right. My main usage of find is `find ./ -name "blah"` which with fd is simply `fd blah`. If you are doing more complex finds then it may very well not be a good replacement for all find usage.

nnn supports all of them BTW - find, grep, fd, ripgrep...

I just checked both fd and ripgrep and they both seem like wonderful tools. I've been using a very long and slow bash script for what ripgrep to make grep -R avoid my node_modules directory.

Being realtively new to Linux both these commands will be super helpful to me. Are there any other command line tools you will recommend?

Do you have your dotfiles available to share? That sounds really useful

I don't have dotfiles online, but many were inspired by this gist: https://gist.github.com/junegunn/8b572b8d4b5eddd8b85e5f4d40f...

For other things like files changed in current branch I've just kludged together aliases: branch_files='git log --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --name-only --no-merges --first-parent main..HEAD | fpp'

(fpp extracts file paths from output)

If you use zsh it can also helpful to setup suffix aliases so just the filename is bound to an application. For instance `alias -s {rb,erb,rake,css,js}=vim`

Thanks for sharing!
