Ripgrep Search

Use rg to search the working tree. It respects .gitignore by default and is dramatically faster than grep -r.

Common invocations

• rg 'pattern' — search all tracked text files
• rg -n 'pattern' src/ — include line numbers, limit to a directory
• rg -t py 'def main' — restrict to a file type
• rg -l 'TODO' — list matching files only

Tips

Quote patterns to keep the shell from expanding them. Use -F for fixed strings when the pattern contains regex metacharacters.
