ripgrep (rg)
ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches your current
directory for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will respect your .gitignore
and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files. ripgrep
has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads
available for every release.
ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack
and grep.

Quick examples comparing tools
This example searches the entire Linux kernel source tree (after running
make defconfig && make -j8) for [A-Z]+_SUSPEND, where all matches must be
words. Timings were collected on a system with an Intel i7-6900K 3.2 GHz, and
ripgrep was compiled with SIMD enabled.
Please remember that a single benchmark is never enough! See my
blog post on ripgrep
for a very detailed comparison with more benchmarks and analysis.
