ripgrep

> I was really just thinking of grep and some other CLI utilities there. :) Another technique I use is to spider a site (respectfully) and then use https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep or load the spidered data into a local Elastic search. Some of what you outline in searching other parts dovetail into handling poor access to the Internet. For folks with bad or transient access pip install --upgrade youtube_dl To download youtube videos (or complete playlists) for offline viewing.

It's also useful for people who do have root access to a terminal, remote or otherwise, but want more up-to-date packages. Some packages (my favorite example is youtube-dl) are useless if they're not up-to-date. And sometimes the new version has a feature that's really important to you. I'm using it for ripgrep and node, for instance. ripgrep isn't available in apt, and the node version in apt is incredibly outdated. There's a reason most software these days tells you to curl an installer and pipe it to bash, and that's because distro package managers never have the latest version. Here's ripgrep's apt installation instructions: curl -LO https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/download/0.10.0/ripgrep_0.10.0_amd6… sudo dpkg -i ripgrep_0.10.0_amd64.deb There's no way I'm memorizing that. I'll have to google 'ripgrep' cop

That chart is now quite out of date. I don't think there are any substantial features present in ag that are absent from rg. See my note in the README: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#feature-comparison

Performance isn't necessarily the only reason that folks use ripgrep. A lot of people like its smart filtering by default. Some don't though. See: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#pos...

ripgrep like grep but faster https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

Tmux: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/ fish-shell: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/ ranger: https://github.com/ranger/ranger/ tig: https://github.com/jonas/tig/ ag or rg: https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep And all my configurations, especially for fish-shell: http://github.com/c02y/dotfiles

I became addicted to these great tools all written in Rust: fselect - https://github.com/jhspetersson/fselect ripgrep - https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep exa - https://the.exa.website They are the replacements for traditional find, grep, and ls.

It's been mentioned previous, but you should check out ripgrep - it's even faster than Silver Searcher a lot of the time https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

rg (ripgrep): https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep I used to use ag (the silver searcher) [1] before, and `ag` was practically a muscle memory to me, but then I came across ripgrep and it was so much faster. I've now installed a static binary of ripgrep in every machine I have SSH access to. [1] https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher

A few of the ones I use almost daily - Pandoc a handy document format converter: https://pandoc.org/ - Ripgrep, a faster grep: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep - There are quite a few prompt-toolkit based CLI which have been really nice: * mycli (https://github.com/dbcli/mycli), pgcli (https://github.com/dbcli/pgcli) * ptpython/ptipython (https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython) - Youtube-dl: http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/ - fzf a fuzzy finder for the console: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf - jq for JSON manipulation: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ - Miller for CSV/TSV: https://github.com/johnkerl/miller I would imagine you have already scoured the "awesome" lists: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps#terminal-utili...

These are pretty good tools for 'grepping' on file systems: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher

>> At the same time, we are seeing Rust pop up in a lot of places that used to be the exclusive domain of C. People are already re-implementing libraries, popular command line tools, > Yes, but some (e.g. ripgrep) don't actually do the same thing as the programs they are supposed to "re-implement". Most Rust "re-implementations" don't actually re-implement programs, they are new programs doing a similar-but-not-quite-the-same thing to the older C implementations. For example, ripgrep is neither GNU or POSIX compliant, and therefore it is not a re-implementation. That ripgrep isn't GNU or POSIX compliant is indeed a distinction worth making, but certainly not in this context. You're taking on a very pedantic interpretation of "re-implementation" here that doesn't really matter to the general point. Specifically: > At the same time, we are

FWIW rg is faster than gnu grep https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#quick-examples-compari...

Can you suggest a better default color configuration for ripgrep? We actually already have different default colors for Windows as opposed to unix.[1] [1] - https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/acf226c39d7926425...

BurntSushi is a badass; always cranking out awesome tools. I use ripgrep [1] on a daily basis as a grep replacement [1] https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep
