- 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 certain filetype (e.g. HTML, CSS, etc.):
rg --type {{filetype}} {{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}}
- 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}}
