[ripgrep][rg] (`rg`) is a new text search tool by [Andrew Gallant][BurntSushi]:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> ripgrep combines the usability of [The Silver Searcher][ag] (an [ack] clone)
|
|
|
|
|
> with the raw performance of [GNU grep][grep]. ripgrep is fast, cross platform
|
|
|
|
|
> (with binaries available for Linux, Mac and Windows) and written in
|
|
|
|
|
> [Rust][rust].

Andrew has written in [extensive detail on the benchmarking][rgbench] he did,
|
|
|
|
|
which shows `ripgrep` is one of the fastest and most correct tools of this
|
|
|
|
|
nature. To make use of `ripgrep` within vim here are a few options:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set [grepprg](http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#'grepprg'),
|
|
|
|
|
which is used by [:grep][colon-grep] to search a project and add the matches

|
|
|
to the quickfix list:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if executable("rg")
|
|
|
|
|
set grepprg=rg\ --vimgrep\ --no-heading
|
|
|
|
|
set grepformat=%f:%l:%c:%m,%f:%l:%m
|
|
|
|
|
endif
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[colon-grep]: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/quickfix.html#:grep
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For use with [ack.vim](https://github.com/mileszs/ack.vim) set `g:ackprg` as
|
|
|
|
|
follows. Now when you run `:Ack` it will use `rg` instead:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
let g:ackprg = 'rg --vimgrep --no-heading'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of my favourite plugins, [fzf.vim](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim) has
|
|
|
|
|
built-in support for `ag`. I've created an [experimental fork][fork] that adds
|
|
|
|
|
support for `rg` to it. My fork adds the `:Rg` user command, which works the
|
|
|
|
|
same was as the existing `:Ag` command. To use my version of the plugin with
|
|
|
|
|
[vim-plug] add the following to your `.vimrc`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plug 'wezm/fzf.vim', { 'branch': 'rg' }
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The line will be similar in Vundle or pathogen.
