> ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

so (i) grep with the -r flag by default and (ii) has the feature of reading your .gitignore when present which is potentially interesting. But yours is still a better answer than "searches for stuff" and the many other answers here where nodobdy was saying /why/ they liked it. The tenor of that conversation on this site was the objection and remains so.

You seem to be taking this very personally and indulging in a bit of flaming of a kind @dang doesn't care for. I don't mind though. Yet again I say good luck to you.
