**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](/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-code#search-by-filename).
|
|
- You can also open the file finder by pressing `t` on your keyboard. For more information, see "[Keyboard shortcuts](/articles/keyboard-shortcuts)."

|
2. Above the list of files, click **Go to file**.
|
|
|
|
3. In the search field, type the name of the file you'd like to find.
|
|
|
|
4. In the list of results, click the file you wanted to find.
