Cheat Sheet

Ripgrep (rg) is smart. It's like grep if grep were built for code. It respects .gitignore and .ignore, has all of the sensible options you want (colors, numbers, etc) turned on by default, is written in Rust, and typically outperforms grep in many use cases.

rg <search-term> # searches recursively, ignoring .git, node_modules, etc

rg 'function doStuff'

rg 'doStuff\(.*\)'

rg 'bar' | rg -v 'foobar'

You can use -uu to set all of the --no-ignore-* options and others.

rg -uu 'SECRET='
