3. ripgrep (rg) - Fast Search (+1)
3. ripgrep (rg) - Fast Search
Basic Usage:
# Search for pattern
rg "function"
# Case insensitive
rg -i "error"
# Show line numbers
rg -n "TODO"
# Search specific file types
rg --type py "import"
rg -t js "require"
# Exclude patterns
rg "pattern" --glob '!*.min.js'
rg "pattern" --glob '!node_modules'
Advanced ripgrep:
# Context lines
rg -C 3 "error" # 3 lines before and after
rg -B 2 "error" # 2 lines before
rg -A 2 "error" # 2 lines after
# Fixed strings (no regex)
rg -F "func()"
# Word boundaries
rg -w "log" # Match "log" not "logging"
# Multiple patterns
rg -e "pattern1" -e "pattern2"
# Files matching pattern
rg -l "TODO" # List files only
rg -c "TODO" # Count matches per file
# Inverse match
rg -v "DEBUG" # Lines NOT containing DEBUG
# Replace
rg "old" --replace "new"
# JSON output
rg --json "pattern" | jq '.'
# Statistics
rg --stats "pattern"
ripgrep Functions:
# Search and preview with fzf
rgs() {
rg --color=always --line-number "$1" | fzf --ansi --preview 'bat --color=always $(echo {} | cut -d: -f1) --highlight-line $(echo {} | cut -d: -f2)'
}
# Search and open in editor
rge() {
local selection
selection=$(rg --color=always --line-number "$1" | fzf --ansi)
if [[ -n "$selection" ]]; then
local file=$(echo "$selection" | cut -d: -f1)
local line=$(echo "$selection" | cut -d: -f2)
${EDITOR:-vim} "+$line" "$file"
fi
}
# Search TODOs
todos() {
rg --color=always "TODO|FIXME|HACK|XXX" "${1:-.}" | fzf --ansi
}
# Search function definitions
funcs() {
rg --color=always "^(def |function |async function |const .* = |class )" "${1:-.}" | fzf --ansi
}
4. fd - Fast Find
Basic Usage:
# Find files by name
fd "readme"
# Find with extension
fd -e md
fd -e py -e js
# Find directories
fd -t d "src"
# Find files
fd -t f "config"
# Exclude patterns
fd -E node_modules -E .git
# Hidden files
fd -H "config"
# Execute command on results
fd -e log -x rm {}
fd -e py -x wc -l {}
fd Functions:
# Find and preview
fdp() {
fd "$@" | fzf --preview 'bat --color=always {} 2>/dev/null || exa --tree --level=2 --color=always {}'
}
# Find and edit
fde() {
local file
file=$(fd -t f "$@" | fzf --preview 'bat --color=always {}')
[[ -n "$file" ]] && ${EDITOR:-vim} "$file"
}
# Find large files
fdlarge() {
local size="${1:-100M}"
fd -t f -S +"$size" | xargs ls -lh | sort -k5 -h
}
# Find recent files
fdrecent() {
local days="${1:-7}"
fd -t f --changed-within "${days}d"
}
# Find duplicates by name
fddup() {
fd -t f | sort | uniq -d
}
