  • Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}

    I was just trying to remember why I switched _to_ rg.

    It's nice and everything, but I remember being happy with the tools before (I think i moved from grep to ack, then jumped due to perf to ag and for unremembered reasons to pt.)

    It took me a while, but I remembered I ran into an issue with pt incorrectly guessing the encoding of some files[0].

    I do know after switching to rg everything was plain sailing and I've been happy with it since.
