PSFzf VS ripgrep

Sets up PSFzf: PowerShell wrapper for fzf, for fuzzy finding files and directories

# To make ZLocation module work in every PowerShell instance. Import-Module ZLocation # PSFzf has undocumented option to use fd executable for # file and directory searching. This enables that option. Set-PsFzfOption -EnableFd:$true # Custom function to SetLocation, because PSFzf uses # Get-ChildItem which doesn't use fd and doesn't use # ignore files. Invoke-FuzzySetLocation is defined here # https://github.com/kelleyma49/PSFzf/blob/b97263a30addd9a2c84a8603382c92e4e6de0eeb/PSFzf.Functions.ps1#L142 # # This implementation is for setting FileSystem location # and implementation uses parts of # https://github.com/kelleyma49/PSFzf/blob/b97263a30addd9a2c84a8603382c92e4e6de0eeb/PSFzf.Base.ps1#L20 # https://github.com/kelleyma49/PSFzf/blob/b97263a30addd9a2c84a8603382c92e4e6de0eeb/PSFzf.Base.ps1#L35 function Invoke-FuzzySetLocation2() { param($Directory = $null) if ($null -eq $Directory) { $Directory = $PWD.Path } $result = $null try { # Color output from fd to fzf if running in Windows Terminal $script:RunningInWindowsTerminal = [bool]($env:WT_Session) if ($script:RunningInWindowsTerminal) { $script:DefaultFileSystemFdCmd = "fd.exe --color always . {0}" } else { $script:DefaultFileSystemFdCmd = "fd.exe . {0}" } # Wrap $Directory in quotes if there is space (to be passed in fd) if ($Directory.Contains(' ')) { $strDir = """$Directory""" } else { $strDir = $Directory } # Call fd to get directory list and pass to fzf Invoke-Expression (($script:DefaultFileSystemFdCmd -f '--type directory {0} --max-depth 1') -f $strDir) | Invoke-Fzf | ForEach-Object { $result = $_ } } catch { } if ($null -ne $result) { Set-Location $result } } # Show tips about newly added commands function Get-Tips { $tips = @( [pscustomobject]@{ Command = 'fcd' Description = 'navigate to subdirectory' }, [pscustomobject]@{ Command = 'ALT+C' Description = 'navigate to deep subdirectory' }, [pscustomobject]@{ Command = 'z' Description = 'ZLocation' }, [pscustomobject]@{ Command = 'fz' Description = 'ZLocation through fzf' }, [pscustomobject]@{ Command = 'fe' Description = 'fuzzy edit file' }, [pscustomobject]@{ Command = 'fh' Description = 'fuzzy invoke command from history' }, [pscustomobject]@{ Command = 'fkill' Description = 'fuzzy stop process' }, [pscustomobject]@{ Command = 'fd' Description = 'find https://github.com/sharkdp/fd#how-to-use' }, [pscustomobject]@{ Command = 'rg' Description = 'find in files https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/GUIDE.md' } ) Write-Output $tips | Format-Table } # Define aliases to call fuzzy methods from PSFzf New-Alias -Scope Global -Name fcd -Value Invoke-FuzzySetLocation2 -ErrorAction Ignore New-Alias -Scope Global -Name fe -Value Invoke-FuzzyEdit -ErrorAction Ignore New-Alias -Scope Global -Name fh -Value Invoke-FuzzyHistory -ErrorAction Ignore New-Alias -Scope Global -Name fkill -Value Invoke-FuzzyKillProcess -ErrorAction Ignore New-Alias -Scope Global -Name fz -Value Invoke-FuzzyZLocation -ErrorAction Ignore

ripgrep - https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

Basic code searching skills seems like something new developers are never explicitly taught, but which is an absolutely crucial skill to build early on.

I guess the knowledge progression I would recommend would look something kind this:

- Learning about Ctrl+F, which works basically everywhere.

- Transitioning to ripgrep https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep - I wouldn't even call this optional, it's truly an incredible and very discoverable tool. Requires keeping a terminal open, but that's a good thing for a newbie!

- Optional, but highly recommended: Learning one of the powerhouse command line editors. Teenage me recommended Emacs; current me recommends vanilla vim, purely because some flavor of it is installed almost everywhere. This is so that you can grep around and edit in the same window.

- In the same vein, moving back from ripgrep and learning about good old fashioned grep, with a few flags rg uses by default: `grep -r` for recursive search, `grep -ri` for case insensitive recursive search, and `grep -ril` for case insensitive recursive "just show me which files this string is found in" search. Some others too, season to taste.

- Finally hitting the wall with what ripgrep can do for you and switching to an actual indexed, dedicated code search tool.

live grep: ripgrep

The world has moved on though to opinionated tools, and Rust isn't even the furthest in that direction (That would be Go). The equivalent of those two lines in Cargo.toml would be this example of a basic configuration from the jacoco-maven-plugin: https://www.jacoco.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/examples/build/pom.x... - That's 40 lines in the section to do the "defaults".

Yes, you could add a load of config for files to include/exclude from coverage and so on, but the idea that that's a norm is way more common in Java projects than other languages. Like here's some example Cargo.toml files from complicated Rust projects:

Servo: https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/main/Cargo.toml

rust-gdext: https://github.com/godot-rust/gdext/blob/master/godot-core/C...

ripgrep: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/Cargo.toml

socketio: https://github.com/1c3t3a/rust-socketio/blob/main/socketio/C...

I'm not clear on why you're seeing the results you are. It could be because your haystack is so small that you're mostly just measuring noise. ripgrep 14 did introduce some optimizations in workloads like this by reducing match overhead, but I don't think it's anything huge in this case. (And I just tried ripgrep 13 on the same commands above and the timings are similar if a tiny bit slower.)
