Code Search & File Tree Browsing
Fast, efficient utilities for searching code and browsing file hierarchies.
Tools Overview
ripgrep (rg)
Ultra-fast grep alternative that respects .gitignore by default.
Common usage:
rg <pattern> [<path>] # Search for pattern in files
rg -t <type> <pattern> # Search files of specific type
rg --no-ignore <pattern> # Search ignoring .gitignore
rg -w <pattern> # Match whole word
rg -C <num> <pattern> # Show context lines
fd
Faster, simpler alternative to find with better defaults and colorized output.
Common usage:
fd <pattern> [<path>] # Find files matching pattern
fd -e <ext> <pattern> # Find by extension
fd -t f <pattern> # Find files only
fd -t d <pattern> # Find directories only
fd --follow <pattern> # Follow symlinks
bat
Syntax-highlighting cat with git integration and line numbers.
Common usage:
bat <file> # View file with syntax highlighting
bat --line-range <start:end> <file> # Show specific line range
rg <pattern> | bat --file-name <path> # Syntax highlight search results
fzf
Fuzzy filtering and pattern matching for command pipelines.
Common usage:
<command> | fzf --filter <pattern> # Filter output by pattern (non-interactive)
echo -e "file1\nfile2\nfile3" | fzf --filter "file" # Match lines containing "file"
rg <pattern> | fzf --filter <secondary-pattern> # Further filter search results
tree
Display directory structure in tree format.
Common usage:
tree [<path>] # Show tree structure
tree -L <depth> [<path>] # Limit depth
tree -I '<pattern>' # Exclude pattern
tree -a # Include hidden files
Common Workflows
Filter search results by secondary pattern
rg <primary-pattern> | fzf --filter <secondary-pattern>
Search code and show context
rg -C 3 <pattern>
Search specific file types
rg -t ts <pattern> # TypeScript files
rg -t py <pattern> # Python files
rg -t go <pattern> # Go files
List directory tree
tree -L 3
