I’m stuck with rg right now because it’s the only ine which correctly handles gitignore files. Generally quite happy with it but I wish it could also use a more powerful regex engine for some less common cases.
Most annoying thing is that $ does not work with windows newlines.
- jrochkind1 9y agoack doesn't do git ignore right? The matrix suggests it does, and I thought it did, but I don't use it routinely.
- the_mitsuhiko 9y agoIt supports a subset but not a very good one. At least it fails to handle leading slashes.
- petdance 9y agoack does not look in .gitignore files at all.
- andersonfreitas 9y agoHave you tried sift? https://sift-tool.org/ https://sift-tool.org/
- burntsushi 9y agosift addresses neither of the GP's concerns with ripgrep. It's also much much slower than ripgrep on almost anything other than simple literal scans.
