Ripgrep is probably my favorite command line tool (which replaces older solutions). It’s just so quick to search a folder for a specific line of text in a file.

I’m not an rg wizard by any means, but it is one of the few utilities that I end up using daily for one reason or another.

Ripgrep is an essential tool for navigating unfamiliar codebases. I also use it to quickly search many repositories for specific symbols when I research the consumers of libraries and APIs.

Same here... the program I use most aside from my editor.

In fact my current editor, VS Code, also does searching powered by rg behind the scenes:

If you are an Emacs user like me, you must try out the consult-ripgrep command from the peerless Consult [1] package by Daniel Mendler: search your whole project with ripgrep and get a live preview of every matching candidate all inside of Emacs!

What's the improvement this time? Translate DFAs to microcode?

rg is great, I use it a lot. Recently I have also used [ambr](https://github.com/dalance/amber) which can do both search (ambs) and replace (ambr) recursively in your codebase. The only problem as of yet is that it does not support globbing so I cannot filter on certain filetypes only.

I don't seem to get the hyperlinks with either Terminal or iTerm.

P.S. OK found it: it can't show hyperlinks when you explicitly pass a file name to search (for internal implementation reasons, might be fixed later). It works when you search in directories etc.

The notes state that the headline feature is "hyperlink support". However, the notes don't seem to really explain what that means. Can someone explain a bit more about what that feature does/is? What's a use case?
