Hey people - I'd like to start a new little thing here I'd like to call - Where share one of our favourite tools every Tuesday (be it for development, art, project management - whatever tool, whatever use welcome!) . I'll personally focus on debugging/tracing/code tools

First tool I'd like to highlight is ripgrep "rg"
Blazing fast search from the command line. (Afaik also powering search in VSCode).

It helps me to swiftly search any text in a checked out repository, buildartifacts etc.

Pro tip: per default rg obeys .gitignore rules - in order to search in ignored files (e.g. build artifacts) use --no-ignore and -a to also search in binary files
