Critical Patterns

Check Availability

Use rg_available to determine if ripgrep is installed.

from repoforge.ripgrep import rg_available

if rg_available():
    print("Ripgrep is available.")
else:
    print("Ripgrep is not available.")

Get Version

Retrieve the version of the installed ripgrep using rg_version.

from repoforge.ripgrep import rg_version

print(f"Ripgrep version: {rg_version()}")

When to Use

• When setting up a development environment that requires ripgrep.
• During CI/CD pipeline checks to ensure ripgrep is available.
• To debug issues related to file searching capabilities.

Commands

python -m repoforge.cli

Anti-Patterns

Don't: Assume Ripgrep is Installed

Assuming ripgrep is installed without checking can lead to runtime errors.

# BAD
from repoforge.ripgrep import rg_version

print(f"Ripgrep version: {rg_version()}")
