I really like the "ag" command. Very convenient to grep in a bunch of files filtered by type. Example: ag --ocaml to_string Very fast and simple syntax.

- kaushalmodi 9y agoNow try rg (ripgrep). It has a much more robust file ignore handling than ag in my experience. When I last tried, ag couldn't handle this in .ignore file: !foo.1 foo.* That would ignore all foo.* files except foo.1 in rg. Also rg is a bit faster than ag for my use cases.
- VeejayRampay 9y agoIs it possible to register new file formats in ripgrep though (say for example slim files so that I could do rg -tslim PATTERN)? Last time I checked it was somehow possible but way too complicated for so common a task.
- kaushalmodi 9y agoFrom its README: rg --type-add 'foo:*.{foo,foobar}' -tfoo bar --- You simply make the below into an alias: rg --type-add 'foo:*.{foo,foobar}' Or, if the type you need is generic that other users can also use, submit a PR. The developer was kind to except mine.. https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/pull/107/files https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/pull/107/files .. it's a trivial 1-line PR.
