Common Patterns

Find files by name:

fd "pattern" [path]
fd -H "pattern" [path]  # include hidden files
fd -e md -e txt "README" [path]

Search file contents:

rg -n "pattern" [path]
rg -i "pattern"  # case-insensitive
rg -S "pattern"  # smart case
rg --files-with-matches "pattern"  # list files only
rg -n "pattern" --glob '!node_modules/*'

Find definitions:

rg -n "^(class|interface|function|def)\\s+Name\\b"
rg -n "^class\\s+ClassName\\b" --type python

Search with context:

rg -n "pattern" -A 2 -B 2

Combine searches:

fd -0 "Controller" -t f | xargs -0 rg -n "handleRequest"
