- dilippkumar 6y agoI use ripgrep[0] to look for things. It’s incredibly fast - I have found that it’s usually faster than what an IDE takes on a much smaller project. Once ripgrep has found something, jumping to that file is super easy (and fast!) I use ctags on smaller subdirectories when I’m not familiar with the codebase and I need to jump around a lot to find definitions within a small number of files.
