When using [`fd(1)`](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd), only the filename is
matched by default.

To match the full path, use `-p`. It is often useful to combine it with `--type
file`.

```shell
% fd -p clustermon --type file
apps/base/clustermon/clustermon.yaml
apps/base/clustermon/kustomization.yaml
apps/overlays/g02/clustermon/patches.yaml
apps/overlays/g02/clustermon/values.yaml
```

A natural extension is to pipe it to `| ifne xargs -n 1 gsed -i -e
'{expression}'`. Changes in the entire codebase at your fingertips!

**Update(2025-11-30)**: We can use `xargs -r` instead of `ifne`.
