Fzf the File Fuzzy Finder

Start finder on entries that start with core and end with either go, rb, or py:

fzf -q "^core go$ | rb$ | py$"

Start finder on entries that not match pyc and match exactly travis:

fzf -q "!pyc 'travis"

# search md files within a folder with live preview
fzf -q 'content/blog/ md$' --preview 'cat {} | head -30'

FZF Previews with BAT

bat --list-themes | fzf --preview="bat --theme={} --color=always /path/to/file"

fzf -q '.md' --color=always --preview='bat --theme=<> --language <bash> {}'

Search Filesystem

Find and delete all files that are owner by root owner/group. Useful then debugging file ownership issues inside docker volumes

find . -group root -delete

Excluding paths
find / -name NameOfFile ! -path '*/Directory/*'

Use grep to search through the contents of the file
