ripgrep

ripgrep excels as a line-oriented search utility by being smart and fast. Its standout feature is the automatic respect for .gitignore rules, ensuring you only search through files that truly matter to your project. It also intelligently ignores hidden files and binary files by default, streamlining your workflow. If you need a comprehensive search, the -uuu flag disables all filtering. Built with performance in mind, ripgrep provides a seamless experience across all major operating systems—Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is a powerful successor to traditional tools like grep, offering both speed and modern conveniences.
