Exclude folder using `find` command

I'm using the find command on a Mac to search for a folder called test1. Now test1 folder could be present in the .Trash folder also. How do I exclude the .Trash folder from getting reported in search results or basically any folder I wish to exclude?

$ find $HOME  -name test1 -type d
/Users/theuser/.Trash/test1
/Users/theuser/test1 
/Users/theuser/Downloads/test1 

I want the result to be just

/Users/theuser/test1
/Users/theuser/Downloads/test1 

I used grep:

find $HOME  -name test1 -type d | grep -v '.Trash' 

to filter out the .Trash result, but I'm interested in knowing if using find alone achieves the same results.


Solution 1:

find $HOME -path  $HOME/.Trash -prune -o -name test1 -type d -print

By explicitly using -print you avoid the spurious printing of .Trash.
