-
Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}
Deadgrep (uses ripgrep and evil-collection has a binding) takes me to my happy place -
-
James Dyer: More flexible grepping with deadgrep
theres a package for this that’s god tier: deadgrep
-
advanced-search
this is cool too Wilfred/deadgrep: fast, friendly searching with ripgrep and Emacs
- What have you recently *removed* from your Emacs configuration?
-
Navigating an enormous code base
rg.el or deadgrep: Emacs interfaces to ripgrep, a grep-like tool that is very fast. This lets us search across a large number of files for a pattern of text. The disadvantage of searching for text is that if you are looking for the method called foo and there are hundreds of them that exist, it can be hard to know which one you really want. On the other hand, at the scale and complexity that you are talking about, I can imagine that more IDE-like tools just start failing.

If you have never used wgrep with rg.el to rename a function in several files, try it | that will blow your mind
Yes in this area (text search) there is many alternatives. Wilfred Hughes (author of deadgrep) has listed them in: https://github.com/Wilfred/deadgrep/blob/master/docs/ALTERNATIVES.md
-
ripgrep is fantastic | Emacs is fantastic | BOOM you get the fantastic rg.el
Anyone interested in this should also check out deadgrep: https://github.com/Wilfred/deadgrep

Is there a magit-like interface for grep?
Deadgrep does this, IIUC (I use ripgrep.el instead, but I think deadgrep does something like what you want)
-
Alternatives to two swiper/counsel commands
deadgrep is an interface to ripgrep.

Difftastic: A diff that understands syntax
Cargo is Rust's build tool/package manager and can be installed easily using rustup. But I would probably suggest the difftastic maintainers add some prebuilt binaries to the releases
(I have an example workflow here if anyone from there is interested https://github.com/conradludgate/wordle/blob/main/.github/wo...)
What are some alternatives?
rg.el - Emacs search tool based on ripgrep
hdiff - Hash-based Diffing for AST's
consult - :mag: consult.el - Consulting completing-read
json-diff - Structural diff for JSON files
emacs-find-file-rg - Find file in current project using rg --files command
tree-sitter - An incremental parsing system for programming tools
dumb-jump - an Emacs "jump to definition" package for 50+ languages
difftastic - a structural diff that understands syntax 🟥🟩
Emacs-wgrep - Writable grep buffer and apply the changes to files
ydiff - View colored, incremental diff in workspace or from stdin with side by side and auto pager support
helpful - A better Emacs *help* buffer
