minus-squareSlurpingPus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·14 hours agoUse fd and ripgrep at least. It’s not the stone age.
minus-squareBeigeAgenda@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 hours agoI’m probably using them already if they are aliased to find and grep.
minus-squareSlurpingPus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 hours agoBtw, while I’m here: you might also want to look into eza, fzf, bat, and maybe delta (or icdiff for side-by-side comparison). I’m pretty conservative regarding replacement for classic utils, but these are worth it.
minus-squareSlurpingPus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 hours agoThey use different arguments, so unlikely. Though idk if there are wrappers or anything like that. They’re both easier to use and faster, so it’s worth making sure to switch.

minus-squareqjkxbmwvz@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·20 hours ago grep -rIi “John.*Cena” dir/ I have this sort of thing aliased, with some added --include flags to filter file type (e.g., only match source/script files). Super useful!
