Finding files on GitHub	You can search for a file in a repository using the file finder. To search for a file in multiple repositories on {{ site.data.variables.product.product_name }}, use the [`filename` code search qualifier](/articles/searching-code#search-by-filename).	/articles/finding-files-on-github	free-pro-team enterprise-server * *

{% tip %}

Tips:

• File finder results exclude some directories like build, log, tmp, and vendor. To search for files within these directories, use the filename code search qualifier.
• You can also open the file finder by pressing t on your keyboard. For more information, see "Keyboard shortcuts."
