FAQPage Schema

How do I search for a specific text string across my entire codebase?▼

ripgrep recursively searches plain text files across a specified directory or the entire project, returning matching lines instantly. It supports regex patterns for precise text matching within codebases and document repositories.

How do I use regular expressions to find matching lines in my project files?▼

You can use regular expressions to find matching lines by invoking ripgrep via the exec tool. This allows you to apply regex patterns to recursively search code and document files in your workspace, returning exact matching lines.

Does ripgrep automatically skip hidden and binary files when searching a workspace?▼

Yes, ripgrep automatically skips hidden and binary files during workspace searches. It respects .gitignore rules by default, significantly improving search efficiency and relevance in large project repositories.

What is the best way to search code and text in a large project without scanning ignored files?▼

The best way to search code in a large project while avoiding ignored files is using ripgrep. It defaults to respecting .gitignore patterns and skipping hidden or binary files, ensuring fast and clean search results.

Can I search code in a specific directory instead of the whole workspace?▼

Yes, you can target a specific directory instead of the whole workspace. The skill invokes ripgrep to recursively search plain text within a specified directory path, returning matching lines from that location.
