### Why should I use `ripgrep`?

* Like The Silver Searcher, `ripgrep` defaults to recursive directory search
and won't search files ignored by your `.gitignore` files. It also ignores
hidden and binary files by default. `ripgrep` also implements proper support
hidden and binary files by default. `ripgrep` also implements full support

### Building
`ripgrep` is written in Rust, so you'll need to grab a
