Find files or folders in path

find <path> -name <filename>

The find command helps us find files or folders in a given path. For example, I often want to free up space by deleting unused node_modules directories. I can do this with a command like:

find $HOME/sites -type d -name 'node_modules'

You can also use wildcards in the name option:

find $HOME/sites -name '*.png'
