Provide -u / -uu flag

[hktonylee]

Hi team, fd is a really awesome tool. I have been using it everyday :) Thanks for all the hard work!

Now the problem is that, I also use ripgrep. They have a flag to search for -I / --no-ignore by -u, and search for hidden files -H / --hidden by -uu. (They also have -uuu to search for binary file but that doesn't apply to us)

I think it is better to provide this flag in fd so as to reduce cognitive loading.

In fact fd does support -u: https://man.archlinux.org/man/fd.1#u,

It's not mentioned in the README though.

Ohh thank you for speedy response! I am using Ubuntu 20.04 that's why I couldn't find in man-page. It is still v7.4.0

A heads-up that in 8.4.0, -u means --no-ignore --hidden, but in 8.3.1, -u means --no-ignore, with “'-uu' is an alias for '--no-ignore --hidden'”. This meant that instructions I’d written based on 8.4.0 missed important files in 8.3.1.

Sorry for this. There was a long discussion about this in #840. And it's mentioned in the release notes here: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd/releases/tag/v8.4.0

We generally really try hard not to introduce breaking changes like this.
