Ripgrep 13.0.0 Released

fzf

The main thing I get out of it is super amazing fuzzy-search of my terminal history. Normally with bash's built in CTRL-R reverse history search, you pretty much have to know EXACTLY what you're searching for, and if there are a lot of similar commands between the most recently run match for a search and the one you're ACTUALLY searching for, you may have a really hard time finding it since you have to go backwards through the commands one at a time. For myself and many people, we were getting really good at typing `history | grep '<regex>'`, maybe with more pipes to grep for further refinement. But with fzf[1], that whole workflow of searching through your history is probably two orders of magnitude faster. Now you hit CTRL-R and you start typing any random part of the command you're trying to remember. If there was some other part of the command you remember, hit space and type that search term after the first search term. FZF will then show you the last 10-ish matches for all the search params you just typed, AND it will have done all this with no UI lag, no hitching, and lightning fast. I don't know what other people use FZF for, as this is the SINGLE feature that's so good I can't live without it anymore. [1] - https://github.com/junegunn/fzf#key-bindings-for-command-line.

Bat

Bat [0] (a cat replacement) and fzf [1] are the other two I would miss dearly, standing above some other "new" tools I use very regularly. <pre><code> [0]: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat.
