fd: Recursively find files matching a specific pattern in the current directory.

$ fd "${select}"

try on your machine

The command "fd "${select}"" is using the "fd" command to search for files and directories that match the "${select}" parameter.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"fd": It is the name of the command being executed. "fd" stands for "find", and it is an alternative to the traditional "find" command, providing a more user-friendly and efficient way to search for files and directories.
"${select}": It is a parameter enclosed within double quotes. The "${select}" syntax suggests that it is likely a variable being referenced. The actual value of the variable is not provided in the command, but it would be substituted at runtime. The value should be a pattern or text that specifies the desired files or directories to search for.

In summary, the command searches for files and directories matching a specific pattern or text provided by the "${select}" variable.
