What is ff?
Find Files (ff) is a fast command-line utility that recursively searches for files by name using regular expressions. It solves the problem of quickly locating files in a directory tree with flexible pattern matching, offering performance comparable to or better than traditional tools like `find` and `fd`. It provides a modern, user-friendly interface with sensible defaults for everyday file searching tasks.
Developers, system administrators, and power users who frequently search for files from the command line and need a fast, regex-capable alternative to `find`. It's especially useful for those working in large codebases or directory structures.
Developers choose ff for its combination of speed, regex support, and intuitive defaults. It outperforms traditional `find` commands in benchmarks, offers parallel processing, and includes useful features like gitignore awareness and hidden file control out of the box.
