I wonder if we should recommend alias fd=fdfind here to make the documentation (README and man page) consistent?

yeah, probably.
we are also discussing about other options like install fd in a specific path and recommending to update PATH

Ok, I'll add the note about the alias for now. If there is a better solution in the future, I'm happy to change the instructions.

by the way @sharkdp how would you fill about renaming fd to fdfind? |
I would rather not. I don't really like We have had a similar discussion in this ticket. However, this discussion is now over a year old and I believe that the name "fd" has now made it into a few online discussions and blog posts. "fd" is also available as a package named "fd" (with a binary named "fd") in a lot of different distributions and package managers. See this ticket for a similar discussion with @paride. I would therefore like to avoid any renaming. See also my comment in this discussion:

Also, sorry for the trouble that this causes with Debian packaging. I really appreciate your effort! Does Ubuntu have a different policy? |
|
@sharkdp I'm not sure, but Ubuntu is likely to inherit the Debian package at some point... |
Work by @paride and the debian rust team!
