Power Find with Shell on Mac

I had to find some files on the whole file system on my Mac.

Here what I've learned.

To find based on name:

cd /
find . -iname "*myfile*"

The above command finds from the root any file that contains myfile in the filename.

To find based on dates:

cd /
find . -type f -newermt "2021-02-04 08:00:00" ! -newermt "2021-02-04 14:00:00"

The above command finds files based on a date and time range.

Furthermore, find files modified the last (ten) minutes:

cd /
find . -type f -mmin -10

I usually had to prepend sudo to find in any folders on my computer.

Bonus command

I've also learned this neat command to list files touched by processes:

lsof
