  • Recursively search the current directory for a regular expression:
    rg regular_expression
  • Search for regular expressions recursively in the current directory, including hidden files and files listed in `.gitignore`:
    rg --no-ignore --hidden regular_expression
  • Search for a regular expression only in a subset of directories:
    rg regular_expression set_of_subdirs
  • Search for a regular expression in files matching a glob (e.g. `README.*`):
    rg regular_expression --glob glob
  • Search for filenames that match a regular expression:
    rg --files | rg regular_expression
  • Only list matched files (useful when piping to other commands):
    rg --files-with-matches regular_expression
  • Show lines that do not match the given regular expression:
    rg --invert-match regular_expression
  • Search a literal string pattern:
    rg --fixed-strings -- string
