I want to find only separate directories with the same name.

If I use the locate to find the path of a given directory :

locate mydirectory :

/var/lib/meu_diretorio/arquivo1 
/var/lib/meu_diretorio/arquivo2
/var/lib/meu_diretorio/arquivo3
/var/lib/meu_diretorio/arquivo4
/var/lib/meu_diretorio/arquivo5
/tmp/eu_diretorio/arquivo2
/tmp/eu_diretorio/arquivo3
/tmp/eu_diretorio/arquivo4

But I just want the next exit :

/var/lib/meu_diretorio/
/tmp/meu_diretorio/

Let’s say I know there’s a directory called vcf inside my /home, but I can’t remember where this one is and I want to find it:

$ find ~/ -type d -name "vcf"

Exit:

/home/sidon/temp/vcf

You can use it .ssh to take a quick test:

$ find ~/ -type d -name ".ssh"

Exit:

/home/sidon/.ssh
/home/sidon/.x2go/.ssh
