How does it compare to just using git grep?

  It works outside of git repositories and is faster than grep or awk.

    Especially helpful in emacs with projectile (which has a function projectile-ag). Create a quick binding to locate all the FIXMES and feel free to experiment. Maybe it should also open file and mark the lines in a new frame for ultimate bug squashing...

    It's noticeably faster than grep but I would say, in my experience anyways, only academically faster than ack. Both are so fast I can't really notice a difference when scanning my massive codebase.
