# Quick grep based on `ripgrep` (rg), `ack`, or `grep`.
# > More information: <https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep> or `help rg`.
#
# - Recursively search the current folder for a regex pattern:
#
# `g {{pattern}}`
#
# - Search for a pattern only in a certain filetype (e.g., html, css, etc.):
#
# `g -t {{file type}} {{pattern}}`
#
# - Search for a pattern in files matching a glob (e.g., `README.*`):
#
# `g -g {{glob}} {{pattern}}`
#
# - Match only at word boundaries:
#
# `g -w {{pattern}}`
#
# - Case-sensitive search:
#
# `g -s {{pattern}}`
#
# - Search for a pattern only in a file or folder:
#
# `g {{pattern}} {{file or folder}}`
#
# - Replace a pattern (will only print results, use `wg` to do the actual replace):
#
# `g {{pattern}} {{filename}} --replace {{replacement}}`
