ripgrep Cheatsheet

Introduction

If you are using Neovim and ripgrep to navigate between files, this Cheatsheet will be a guide for you. Ripgrep is a very fast grep tool because it is written on Rust-regex.

When you use rg as the default command in your Telescope configurations on Neovim, you will see a huge speed difference in searches between your projects.
