I switched also recently, the thing that helped me was adding this:

alias rg='rg -S'

to my .bashrc so that rg had the same default case sensitivity as ag.




I do wish the persistent config file enhancement had a significant chance of becoming a reality. https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/196

I understand alias'es and wrappers fine, but I like having the environment have some way to contribute. It's just my simple preference.

There's also the related #314 which makes even more sense- per project configuration. Sure would be great being able to download a project & have it already setup nicely for ripgrep! https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/314

As the ticket says (I think), tt's going to happen. It's just a lot of tedious work.


Wow, cool. Thanks burntsushi. rg is already amazing. This project really has gotten an enormous amount of love & effort from you & it really shows through & through.

Your implementation of the gitignore algorithm is crazy impressive to me.
