Does it support regular expressions?

Yes, it supports powerful regex patterns including character classes, line anchors, and word boundaries for precise matching.

Is ripgrep faster than standard grep?

Yes, ripgrep is written in Rust and specifically optimized for speed, often outperforming standard grep by several orders of magnitude on large directories.

How can I see the code surrounding a search match?

You can use context flags like -A (After), -B (Before), or -C (Context) followed by a number to display the lines surrounding the match.

Can I search for specific programming languages?

Absolutely. You can use the type flag (e.g., -t py for Python or -t rs for Rust) to restrict your search to specific file extensions.

Does this skill respect .gitignore rules?

Yes, rg Code Search automatically respects .gitignore and other ignore files by default, ensuring search results are relevant to your source code.

생산성 및 워크플로

Performs lightning-fast code searches and pattern matching across large repositories using optimized ripgrep defaults.

소개

The rg Code Search skill integrates the high-performance ripgrep utility into development workflows, enabling developers to query massive codebases with incredible speed. It provides specialized knowledge for filtering by file type, utilizing complex regex patterns, and performing multi-line analysis while automatically respecting .gitignore rules. This skill is particularly effective for large-scale refactoring, security auditing, and navigating unfamiliar architectures where standard grep or IDE searches may be too slow or imprecise.
