E.g. for files that respect [pattern] in current directory, $ fd [pattern] . . . will print each of them 3 times. How to make it print only once?

There is currently no way to do this directly in fd, but you can simply pipe into sort -u:

fd [pattern] some/ search/ paths/ | sort -u

If you want to keep the colored output, you need to use --color=always:

fd --color=always [pattern] some/ search/ paths/ | sort -u

Add -l/--list option
6cb2f88 
Add a new `-l`/`--list` option to show more details about the search results. This is basically
an alias for `--exec-batch ls -l` with some additional `ls` options.
This can be used in order to:
    * see metadata like permissions, owner, file size, modification times (#491)
    * see symlink targets (#482)
    * achieve a determinstic output order (#324, #196, #159)
    * avoid duplicate search results when multiple search paths are given (#405)
