ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches the current directory for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will respect gitignore rules and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, [macOS](../../macos/macOS.md) and [Linux](../../linux/Linux.md) with binary downloads available for [every release](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases). ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep.
