Find any file containing a certain word on the entire disk.

In this case I lost my minesweeper project which had a git directory with the remote remcostoeten/minesweeper so this command will do:

find / -name "config" -exec grep -l "minesweeper" {} + 2>/dev/null

Explanation:

• find / -name "config": Searches for all config files starting from the root directory /.
• -exec grep -l "minesweeper" {} +: For each config file found, grep searches for the string "minesweeper" in the file content and prints the filename (-l option) if it finds a match.
• 2>/dev/null: Redirects errors to /dev/null to suppress permission denied messages.
