It's better to include a `--` prior to the search string so that strings starting with `--` (e.g. `--foo`) aren't processed as cli options. https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/discussions/1560#discussioncomment-6346

|
|
- Recursively search the current directory for a regular expression:
|
|
|
|
`rg {{regular_expression}}`
|
|
|
|
- Search for regular expressions including all .gitignored and hidden files:
|
|
|
|
`rg --no-ignore --hidden {{regular_expression}}`
|
|
|
|
- Search for a regular expression only in a certain filetype (e.g., html, css, etc.):
|
|
|
|
`rg --type {{filetype}} {{regular_expression}}`
|
|
|
|
- Search for a regular expression only in a subset of directories:
|
|
|
|
`rg {{regular_expression}} {{set_of_subdirs}}`
|
|
|
|
- Search for a regular expression in files matching a glob (e.g., `README.*`):
|
|
|
|
`rg {{regular_expression}} --glob {{glob}}`
|
|
|
|
- Only list matched files (useful when piping to other commands):
|
|
|
|
`rg --files-with-matches {{regular_expression}}`
|
|
|
|
- Show lines that do not match the given regular expression:
|
|
|
|
`rg --invert-match {{regular_expression}}`
|
|
|
|
- Search a literal string pattern:
|
|
|
|
`rg --fixed-strings -- {{string}}`
