find

I have a find command that I run, to find files named 'foo' in a directory. I want to skip the ".git" directory.

The command below works except it prints an annoying ".git" any time it skips a .git directory:

find . ( -name .git ) -prune -o -name '*foo*'

How can I prevent the skipped ".git" directories from printing to stdout?
