-
Recursively search the current directory for a regular expression:
rg {{regular_expression}}
-
Search for regular expressions recursively in the current directory, including hidden files and files listed in
.gitignore
:
rg --no-ignore --hidden {{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}}
-
Search for filenames that match a regular expression:
rg --files | rg {{regular_expression}}
-
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}}
