  • ripgrep

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

    • If you're looking to search across those files "in place" (without any special interpretation) and on a local system, look into dedicated search utility programs. I personally like ripgrep for this. You could always use Ruby to build an interface/wrapper around those searches.

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
