rg command

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Usage:
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Recursively search current directory for a pattern (regex):
rg <pattern>

# Recursively search for a pattern in a file or directory:
rg <pattern> <path/to/file_or_directory>

# Search for a literal string pattern:
rg <[-F|--fixed-strings]> -# <string>

# Include hidden files and entries listed in .gitignore:
rg <[-.|--hidden]> --no-ignore <pattern>

# Only search the files matching the glob pattern(s) (e.g. README.*, use !filename_pattern to exclude instead):
rg <pattern> <[-g|--glob]> '<filename_glob_pattern>'

# Recursively list filenames in the current directory and highlight ones that match a pattern:
rg --files | rg <[--passthru|--passthrough]> <pattern>

# Only list matched files (useful when piping to other commands):
rg <[-l|--files-with-matches]> <pattern>

# Show lines that do not match the pattern:
rg <[-v|--invert-match]> <pattern>
