Life is too short to spend time just to know what ripgrep is/does. I mean, yes, you all look so cool and I look so dumb. But, c'mon, is this software so complex that its description doesn't fit 42 words? Is like having a shop with no sign and no window. Everyone is saying it's great and worth shopping. But still no sign. Ridiculuos.

you search stuff with it
Is it faster than Silver Searcher (ag)?
Hah! TIL. I had no idea someone did this. But it's smart. I should have thought of it! (I'm the author of ripgrep.)
I use ripgrep on git bash for Windows, and my team members act like I’ve got searching superpowers. Searching on windows is such a pain and this makes it easy. Thanks so much for making this fantastic tool!

Sorry, how does ripgrep save you tens of hours? I get that it is faster than regular grep, but that doesn't really answer the question; I don't find myself stalled waiting for grep. The only reasonable explanation would be something ripgrep does that grep actually doesn't. I could try to guess, but have no confidence I would guess right.
1. Available on Windows without WSL, possibly the biggest time saver for those affected 2. Auto ignores .gitignore files, so does not search node_modules or build/ etc., huge noise reduction there. 3. -t/-T gates on file extension which is a very nice feature, again signal to noise 4. The combo of speed and the above and the recursive-by-default mean that you search much larger corpuses by default, like “all the micr…
I love Python but pip/pypi and imports always felt wierd to me because of namespaces, package names, special imports "as", etc., maybe this is a bias because I started using them when I was younger and now I'm more experienced, I already know how to use most package managers.
BTW Ripgrep is awesome, I'm learning Rust and it's an inspiration to me, thanks burntsushi!

`ripgrep` is my favorite of the "new" linux utilities, it makes searching for a single string across all of my cloned repos extremely easy, and especially for diving into multiple versions of vendored dependencies.
Yeah, but only when used together with fzf, the other favorite new cross-platform shell utility. I mean, after rg spits out a list you do want to narrow it down and then do something with the files in that list, right?

There's even a huge sign with only 12 words pithily explaining what the shop has inside.
