- baq 9y ago+1 for rg, it's amazing
- TorKlingberg 9y agoHas anyone made a good and detailed comparison of all these grep replacements? People keep saying how great they are, but I can never trust them to what I expect the way I trust grep.
- marcuskaz 9y agoFrom the creator of ripgrep, so might be biased comparison, but anecdotally ripgrep feels faster to me too http://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/#methodology http://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/#methodology
- bntyhntr 9y agoI work with a huge monorepo and ag/rg are noticeably faster. Might just be the out-of-the-box .ignore support but that's another point in favor. Our complicated ignore rules make ag miss a directory though (known issue with ag) so rg it is.
