# Find all files, including hidden, that match the name "config"
find . -type f -name config

# Find all files that contain the word "git" in the filename
find . -type f -iname '*git*'

# Same as above but exclude hidden folders and files
find . -not -path '*/\.*' -type f -iname '*git*'

# Find all files except those in '.git/' and '.terraform/'
find . -type f \
  -not \( -path '*/.git/*' -o -path '*/.terraform/*' \)

# Find all files then echo with 'name:'
find . -type f \         
  | xargs -I{} echo 'name: {}'

# Find all files then run ls on the file
find ./shells -type f \
  | -exec ls '{}' \+

# Same as above but use xargs which offers parallism, albeit with less portability. `xargs -P` adds parallism, but is not in the POSIX standard.
find ./shells -type f \
  | xargs -I{} ls '{}'
