While the actual amount of ripgrep/rg questions is currently rather low (1 exlusive rg, 1 exclusive ripgrep, 1 tagged with both), we should probably nip the usage of both in the bud and make one of them a synonym of the other.
There are currently ~6 questions containing ripgrep
, and ~16 containing rg
, some of them use grep instead of rg or ripgrep or the tag of the completion framework (counsel, helm, ivy, ...).
Unfortunately, I lack the necessary reputation to suggest a synonym myself. I've suggested an initial excerpt for ripgrep and propose that we make rg a synonym of ripgrep. I suggest rg as the synomym, as rg
is the name of the binary, where as ripgrep is the name of the project.
