Feature comparison of ack, ag, git-grep, GNU grep and ripgrep
as a long time user of `find . -name "*.foo" -exec grep -Hin {} \;` moving to ack has been great! I love the syntax and the speed and the fact that it actually respects your ignore files. ripgrep is great too. ag on the other hand is recommended by everyone but doesn't seem to respect ignores or understand modern ignore syntax. give it a pass.https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher/issues/385its been over 4 years... its had its chance.
