Ripgrep 14 Released

1. ripgrep

   1 364 51,741 7.6 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...

3. sd

   2 36 6,209 3.5 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.

4. ast-grep

   3 48 8,532 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.

5. amber

   4 4 878 8.2 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.

6. fastmod

   5 8 1,729 3.7 Rust

   A fast partial replacement for the codemod tool

   

7. xe

   6 2 183 3.0 C

   simple xargs and apply replacement

   

   I’ll also throw in Leah Neukirche ‘s xe as a better alternative to xargs: https://github.com/leahneukirchen/xe

8. grep-ast

   7 2 209 7.9 Python

   Grep source code and see useful code context about matching lines
