ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

Project mention: Code Search Is Hard | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10

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.

A code search / replace tool (by dalance)

Project mention: Ripgrep 14 Released | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-26

Recently I have also used [ambr](https://github.com/dalance/amber) which can do both search (ambs) and replace (ambr) recursively in your codebase. The only problem as of yet is that it does not support globbing so I cannot filter on certain filetypes only.

It's my honor to drive you fucking fire faster, to have more time with your Family and Sunshine.This tool is for those who often want to search for a string Deeply into a directory in Recursive mode, but not with the great tools: grep, ack, ripgrep .........every thing should be Small, Thin, Fast, Lazy....without Think and Remember too much ...一个工具最大的价值不是它有多少功能，而是它能够让你以多快的速度达成所愿......
