Ripgrep 14 Released

• ripgrep

  348 44,901 9.3 Rust

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

The shell function from this comment works pretty well for me: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/152#issuecommen...

• sd

  31 5,348 8.0 Rust

  Intuitive find & replace CLI (sed alternative)

I wanted to like sd but it doesn't support my main use case of recursive search/replace. Imagine every time you wanted to grep some files you had to build a find+xargs+rg pipeline... it just takes me out of the flow too much. I'm glad people are posting other options here, I'm looking forward to trying them.

• ast-grep

  32 5,863 9.9 Rust

  ⚡A CLI tool for code structural search, lint and rewriting. Written in Rust

  

Thanks for the pointer. There are definitely a few tools that have explored the idea of searching the AST of code. Semgrep seems to do that, as does a tool called ast-grep [0].

Both of them are sort of doing the opposite of my tool. They are letting you specify your search as a chunk of code/AST.

My tool let's you grep a regex as usual, but shows you the matches in a helpful AST aware way.

  3 449 8.4 Rust

  A code search / replace tool (by dalance)

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.

  A fast partial replacement for the codemod tool
