Hi everyone! 👋
I’ve been working on a side project called gofind
, and I’m happy to finally share it with you. 🎉
🔍 Why I built gofind
We all know the classic find command – it’s powerful but sometimes:
It feels slow on large directories.
It has a complicated syntax that’s hard to remember.
It doesn’t always give you exactly the filtering you want without chaining extra tools.
That’s where gofind comes in.
It’s designed to make searching files simpler, faster, and more intuitive without sacrificing flexibility.
✨ Features
⚡ Fast and efficient – powered by Go’s concurrency
📝 Flexible filters – search by name, size, or modification time
📦 Cross-platform – works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
🛠️ Simple CLI – easy-to-remember flags
✅ CI/CD ready – integrated with GitHub Actions + GoReleaser
🛠️ What problems does it solve?
Developers who need to quickly find source files while working in large repos.
Sysadmins who want to locate big files that eat up disk space.
Security engineers who need to scan for recently modified files after an incident.
Anyone who wants a cleaner and faster alternative to the traditional find command.
📥 Installation
If you have Go installed:
go install github.com/Hamed0406/gofind@latest
