fd conflicts with oh-my-zsh common alias fd for find directories

[fddayan]

if you have installed oh-my-zsh the default common aliases includesfd which searches for directories.

Took me a while to figure it out

I know this is BIG change but it would be a better idea to give the project a more meaningful name and let users alias the command to fd or something else.

Which plugin adds fd alias? I've been using oh-my-zsh for a long time and do not have fd bound to anything at the moment.

grep -r 'find . -type d -name' ~/.oh-my-zsh

~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/common-aliases/common-aliases.plugin.zsh:alias
fd='find . -type d -name'

@fddayan That is unfortunate.

I knew that there was a price to pay (name clashes, harder to find) when naming this fd, but I wanted to have something short like rg, ag, ls, etc. Of course, I could have asked all users to set an alias fd, but somehow that doesn't seem very user-friendly to me.

I'm also a user of oh-my-zsh and (as well as for @Detegr) that alias was not enabled for me. Counting across all plugins, oh-my-zsh defines over 1000 different aliases (146 of these are in the two-letter namespace). I don't want to blame them, but I don't think we should change fds name just to avoid a clash with one of these many aliases. Especially if it's not enabled by default.

Personal opinion: I love aliases on the shell, but they are only useful if I have defined them on my own (because I will not remember them otherwise). I love oh-my-zsh, but I don't think I use any of the aliases that it defines.

It's probably obvious, but if you want to keep that oh-my-zsh alias, you can also simply define a new name for fd:

alias fnd='\fd'

Just a drive-by suggestion for findr.

@fddayan Thanks for asking.

BTW for those wondering: unalias fd should fix the problem :smile:
