  • 0

Trying to locate a very specific set of recently changed files within a code repository on a Linux box using a remote terminal session. There are some specific folders names which contain files that are build/SCM cruft that I do not want polluting the real matches I need. No fancy SCM software is available to give me a change list, remember this is just a PuTTY window I have. I am hoping to craft a command that will work on a very spartan linux distribution with few optional packages included.

    Something like this should work:

    find '(' -name CVS -or -name build -or -name classes -prune ')' -or -mtime +10

    The '(' -name CVS -or -name build -or -name classes -prune ')' part skips the directories you want to skip

    And -mtime +10 matches files that was modified 10 days ago.
