I used to use ag (the silver searcher) [1] before, and `ag` was practically a muscle memory to me, but then I came across ripgrep and it was so much faster. I've now installed a static binary of ripgrep in every machine I have SSH access to.

- mariusmg 8y agoThe first time i use it, I was in shock about how fast ripgrep is. Amazing.
- petdance 8y agoNote that rg and ag don't have the same feature sets. Here's a handy chart that shows the differences. https://beyondgrep.com/feature-comparison/ https://beyondgrep.com/feature-comparison/
- burntsushi 8y agoThat chart is now quite out of date. I don't think there are any substantial features present in ag that are absent from rg. See my note in the README: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#feature-comparison https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#feature-comparison
- petdance 8y agoPlease let me know what's new so that I can update the chart. Dumping into an issue will do, and then I can worry about getting it into chart format. https://github.com/beyondgrep/website/issues https://github.com/beyondgrep/website/issues
