+## Some finds don't have a default path. Specify '.' explicitly.
+
+### Problematic code:
+
+```sh
+find -type f
+```
+
+### Correct code:
+
+```sh
+find . -type f
+```
+### Rationale:
+
+When not provided a search path, GNU and Busybox `find` will use a default path of `.`, the current directory.
+
+On POSIX, macOS/OSX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD, it will instead result in an error.
+
+Explicitly specifying a path works across all implementations, and is therefore preferred.
+
+### Exceptions:
+
+None.
