I recently used find . -name some-file-name a lot and decided that it's time to abbreviate this with a function (fb stands for find below):function fb() {  find . -name $1}This seems to work as intended. Still, I'd like to know if there is a more standard way to achieve the same thing.
Is there a standard abbreviation for 'find . -name foo' or do I need a function for this?
bash;shell;find
Defining aliases or functions to simplify commands you use often is the standard way. I don't know of any built-in function or command to do this same thing, provided as standard on most Linux and Unix-type systems. There are undoubtedly similar aliases or functions in pre-packaged collections; for example, Oh My Zsh's common-aliases plugin defines fd and ff which are similar to your function:alias fd='find . -type d -name'alias ff='find . -type f -name'
