search tool

In the vast toolbox of command-line utilities for Linux, searching through files quickly and efficiently is a task often encountered by developers and system administrators. Traditionally, tools like grep have been used to handle this job, but a newer tool named ripgrep, often abbreviated as rg, has gained popularity for its speed and usability, particularly when searching large volumes of data or complex directory structures. Today, I will guide you through what makes ripgrep standout, and how you can install it on your Linux system using various package managers like apt, dnf, and zypper. Ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches your current directory for a regex pattern.
