Ripgrep
A fast, smart recursive search tool that respects .gitignore by default. Provides powerful pattern matching, file type filtering, and performance optimization for code searching.
🚀 ripgrep (rg) is a lightning-fast search tool that finds text patterns across your files and folders. It automatically respects your .gitignore file, skips binary files, and provides colored output with line numbers—all without extra configuration. Search by file type, use regex patterns, or filter by location with simple, intuitive commands.
💡 Perfect for developers hunting down TODOs, debugging errors, refactoring code, or finding specific patterns across large projects. Pipe results to other tools, preview replacements, and combine multiple searches effortlessly. Works seamlessly in scripts and command-line workflows.
✨ Typically 5-10x faster than traditional grep while being smarter about what to search. Its sensible defaults mean less typing and fewer flags—just run rg pattern and get instant results.
