ripgrep

Engineered for efficiency, ripgrep combines raw speed with smart filtering. Its default configuration honors .gitignore rules, ensuring you only search through relevant, project-specific files while automatically ignoring hidden directories and binary data. This line-oriented search utility uses regular expressions to find exactly what you need. If you require an exhaustive search, the -uuu flag will bypass all default filters. ripgrep is built for cross-platform use, providing reliable, native performance on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is a popular choice among developers familiar with tools like ack or grep but seeking a faster, more streamlined experience.
