How to find changed files in console

Relevant for Linux, macOS. This article lists commands that help you find files that have changed over a certain period.

1. Find all modified files in the current folder in order of freshness of changes. The most recent will be on top:

find ./c -type f -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %TT %p\n' | sort -r 

It is more convenient for me to watch without infinite scrolling:

find /etc -type f -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %TT %p\n' | sort -r | less

Ahaha, are you trapped and don’t know how to get out? Press q.

2. Find modified files in the current folder for the last hour:

find ./ -type f -mmin -60

3. Find modified files in the current folder for the last 2 days:

find ./ -type f -mtime -2
