Hi Fraser! I'm confused. I don't have fd aliased to fdfind. How did you realize you needed to alias it to fdfind?

I went to the fd github page linked to in your README and read the installation instructions more carefully. The Ubuntu section has a paragraph below the apt command saying:

Note that the binary is called fdfind as the binary name fd is already used by another package. It is recommended that you add an alias fd=fdfind to your shells initialization file, in order to use fd in the same way as in this documentation.
