ripgrep (rg)
------------
`ripgrep` is a command line search tool that combines the usability of The
Silver Searcher (an `ack` clone) with the raw speed of GNU grep. `ripgrep` has
first class support on Windows, Mac and Linux, with binary downloads available
for [every release](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases).
`ripgrep` is a line oriented search tool that combines the usability of The
Silver Searcher (an `ack` clone) with the raw speed of GNU grep. `ripgrep`
works by recursively searching your current directory for a regex pattern.
`ripgrep` has first class support on Windows, Mac and Linux, with binary
downloads available for
[every release](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases).
ripgrep's regex engine uses finite automata and guarantees linear time
searching. Because of this, features like backreferences and arbitrary
lookaround are not supported.
