  Had no idea that it was such a huge topic :))

  Let’s start off with something very simple : how to track a particular file existing in your system ?

  source

    find / -iname "filename" 2>/dev/null
    

    Find a file by (case insensitive) file name. Search the whole filesystem (/). Pipe errors to /dev/null (since it will output permission denied errors trying access directories you don’t have access to, among other things)
