Analysis updated 2026-05-18
Search the current folder for a file by typing its name and extension into an interactive prompt.
Install the tool globally so the search command works from anywhere on the machine.
Add a one-letter shell alias to trigger the search even faster.
Run the script directly with Node.js without installing it at all.

Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
file-finder-cli is a small command line tool for macOS that searches for files by name and file extension. After installing it, typing its command starts an interactive prompt that asks for the file name to look for, without its extension, the extension itself, and which folder to search in, leaving the folder blank searches the current one. The README describes two ways to install it. Running it from inside the project's own folder makes the command available just there, while installing it globally makes the same command available anywhere on the machine for any user. For anyone who wants an even shorter command, the README also suggests adding a one line shell alias so the tool can be triggered with a single letter instead of its full name. If someone would rather skip installing it altogether, the underlying script can also be run directly with Node.js. Beyond finding files by name and extension in a chosen folder, the README does not describe any other features, such as searching by file contents, filtering by date, or matching partial names, this appears to be a small, single purpose utility rather than a full search tool. It is released under the MIT License, an open license that allows the code to be freely used, copied, modified, or shared, including for other operating systems, as long as the original source is credited. The project currently has no stars and is described very briefly by its author, so it looks like an early or personal utility rather than a widely used tool.
