# Find

The +Find+ module supports the top-down traversal of a set of file paths.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'find'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install find

## Usage

For example, to total the size of all files under your home directory,
ignoring anything in a "dot" directory (e.g. $HOME/.ssh):

```ruby
require 'find'

total_size = 0

Find.find(ENV["HOME"]) do |path|
if FileTest.directory?(path)
if File.basename(path).start_with?('.')
Find.prune # Don't look any further into this directory.
else
next
end
else
total_size += FileTest.size(path)
end
end
```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
