How to find a partial directory path?
Suppose I don't know where my Django source is stored, but I know that it contains these directories in this way: django/contrib/admin
.
How can I use the find
command or any more appropriate coreutils command to find where this partial directory path (structure) is available?
Example output:
/home/me/python/extracted/django/contrib/admin/
/home/me/env/django/contrib/admin/
linux find coreutils

Thelocate
command does this for you, assuming that its database is up to date.

You should use -path
flag for such purpose
find /home/me -path "*django/contrib/admin*"
