About

Grep using the famous rg(ripgrep)

  • grep asynchronously
  • easy to use just like using rg in the command line
  • take advantage of the fuzzy matching algorithm for a secondary filter

Requirements

  • ripgrep 0.10.0+

Usage

:Leaderf rg -h

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

specific arguments:
  -A <NUM>, --after-context <NUM>
                        Show NUM lines after each match.
  -B <NUM>, --before-context <NUM>
                        Show NUM lines before each match.
  -C <NUM>, --context <NUM>
                        Show NUM lines before and after each match.
  --context-separator <SEPARATOR>
                        The string used to separate non-contiguous context lines in the output.
  -e <PATTERN>..., --regexp <PATTERN>...
                        A pattern to search for. This option can be provided multiple times, where all
                        patterns given are searched.
  -F, --fixed-strings   Treat the pattern as a literal string instead of a regular expression.
  -i, --ignore-case     Searches case insensitively.
  -L, --follow          Follow symbolic links while traversing directories.
  -P, --pcre2           When this flag is present, rg will use the PCRE2 regex engine instead of its
                        default regex engine.
  -S, --smart-case      Searches case insensitively if the pattern is all lowercase, case sensitively
                        otherwise.
  -s, --case-sensitive  Searches case sensitively.
  -v, --invert-match    Invert matching. Show lines that do not match the given patterns.
  -w, --word-regexp     Only show matches surrounded by word boundaries. This is roughly equivalent to
                        putting \b before and after all of the search patterns.
  -x, --line-regexp     Only show matches surrounded by line boundaries.
  --hidden              Search hidden files and directories. By default, hidden files and directories are
                        skipped.
  --no-config           Never read configuration files. When this flag is present, rg will not respect
                        the RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
  --no-ignore           Don't respect ignore files (.gitignore, .ignore, etc.). This implies --no-ignore-
                        parent and --no-ignore-vcs.
  --no-ignore-global    Don't respect ignore files that come from 'global' sources such as git's
                        `core.excludesFile` configuration option (which defaults to
                        `$HOME/.config/git/ignore`).
  --no-ignore-parent    Don't respect ignore files (.gitignore, .ignore, etc.) in parent directories.
  --no-ignore-vcs       Don't respect version control ignore files (.gitignore, etc.).
  --no-messages         Suppress all error messages related to opening and reading files.
  --no-pcre2-unicode    When PCRE2 matching is enabled, this flag will disable Unicode mode, which is
                        otherwise enabled by default.
  -E <ENCODING>, --encoding <ENCODING>
                        Specify the text encoding that rg will use on all files searched.
  -M <NUM>, --max-columns <NUM>
                        Don't print lines longer than this limit in bytes.
  -m <NUM>, --max-count <NUM>
                        Limit the number of matching lines per file searched to NUM.
  --max-depth <NUM>     Limit the depth of directory traversal to NUM levels beyond the paths given.
  --max-filesize <NUM+SUFFIX?>
                        Ignore files larger than NUM in size. This does not apply to directories.
  --path-separator <SEPARATOR>
                        Set the path separator to use when printing file paths.
  --sort <SORTBY>       This flag enables sorting of results in ascending order.
  --sortr <SORTBY>      This flag enables sorting of results in descending order.
  -f <PATTERNFILE>..., --file <PATTERNFILE>...
                        Search for patterns from the given file, with one pattern per line.(This option
                        can be provided multiple times.)
  -g <GLOB>..., --glob <GLOB>...
                        Include or exclude files and directories for searching that match the given
                        glob.(This option can be provided multiple times.)
  --iglob <GLOB>...     Include or exclude files and directories for searching that match the given glob.
                        Globs are matched case insensitively.(This option can be provided multiple
                        times.)
  --ignore-file <PATH>...
                        Specifies a path to one or more .gitignore format rules files.
  --type-add <TYPE_SPEC>...
                        Add a new glob for a particular file type.
  -t <TYPE>..., --type <TYPE>...
                        Only search files matching TYPE. Multiple type flags may be provided.
  -T <TYPE>..., --type-not <TYPE>...
                        Do not search files matching TYPE. Multiple type-not flags may be provided.
  <PATH>                A file or directory to search. Directories are searched recursively. Paths
                        specified on the command line override glob and ignore rules.
  --current-buffer      Searches in current buffer.
  --all-buffers         Searches in all listed buffers.
  --append              Append to the previous search results.
  --match-path          Match the file path when fuzzy searching.
  --wd-mode <MODE>      Specify the working directory mode, value has the same meaning as
                        g:Lf_WorkingDirectoryMode.
