In the wide array of tools available for search operations within Linux, one particularly stands out for its speed and efficiency—ripgrep, often referred to as rg. This command-line utility is built specifically to replace the traditional tools like grep, ack, and ag with a focus on speed and practicality. rg leverages Rust's regular expression library, which is famous for its performance, to conduct searches. ripgrep distinguishes itself with several inbuilt functionalities that make it the first choice for developers and system administrators: Speed: ripgrep is incredibly fast. It is optimised to perform searches quickly by automatically skipping certain directories like .git.

So yeah, getting used to Bash is about finding the right way to do things.

So here it is, something you can remember so that you don't use different methods depending on what Google throws up today. grep -Rl newertext .
