“You meant to install ripgrep”

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • semgrep

    Lightweight static analysis for many languages. Find bug variants with patterns that look like source code.

  • docs.rs

    crates.io documentation generator

  • The source is hosted alongside the documentation at https://docs.rs. But far simpler than that is just going to the prominent GitHub link.

  • WorkOS

    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.

  • ripgrep

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

  • A grep alternative that optimizes for performance: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep . There are detailed performance comparisons and discussions in the readme.

  • cargo-crev

    A cryptographically verifiable code review system for the cargo (Rust) package manager.

  • 'cargo crev' makes this kind of workflow possible: https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev

  • crates.io

    The Rust package registry

  • npm-helpful-typosquatting

    Redirect wrong `npm install`s to the right package

  • Back when npm didn’t have any “similar name” restrictions I did the same for some popular packages. My redirects also helped me a couple of times as I wonder whether a package name had a dash or not.

  • packj

    Packj stops :zap: Solarwinds-, ESLint-, and PyTorch-like attacks by flagging malicious/vulnerable open-source dependencies ("weak links") in your software supply-chain

  • Disclaimer: I’m one of the devs.

    1. https://github.com/ossillate-inc/packj

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • fzf

    :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

  • `ripgrep` is my favorite of the "new" linux utilities

    Yeah, but only when used together with fzf, the other favorite new cross-platform shell utility. I mean, after rg spits out a list you do want to narrow it down and then do something with the files in that list, right?

  • rg-cratesio-typosquat

    The source code of the 'rg' crate. It is an intentional typo-squat that redirects folks to 'ripgrep'.

  • Thank you! I've updated the crate to use dtolnay's suggestion (a compilation error), added a short README and created a repo for it with a small FAQ: https://github.com/BurntSushi/rg-cratesio-typosquat

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
