High-performance cross-platform file management and automation tool.
ft (FileTools) is a high-performance, cross-platform CLI tool for file management and workflow automation. It excels at precision file discovery using glob patterns, file states (time, size), and MIME-type detection. Beyond discovery, ft supports regex-based search-and-replace, and enables complex batch processing via built-in subcommands or by orchestrating native system CLI applications as a universal shell task runner.
