ripgrep

ripgrep combines the power of recursive regex search with automatic, intelligent filtering. It starts searching from your current directory, scanning files line-by-line for your pattern. The tool's brilliance lies in its default behavior: it automatically filters out noise by skipping files listed in .gitignore, hidden files, and binaries. This results in incredibly fast and focused searches. Perfect for developers, it runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. For scenarios requiring a complete search, the -uuu flag overrides all filters. ripgrep is a high-performance upgrade compared to similar tools such as ack.
