# RipGrep

[RipGrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/) is a search utility based
around regex. It works well cross-platform, can replace grep, and can respect
`.gitignore` files. This makes it a great addition for shells and editors.

## Setup

Install ripgrep with

chocolatey: `choco install ripgrep -y`

```bash
# Download the Microsoft repository GPG keys
wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb

# Register the Microsoft repository GPG keys

# Update the list of products
sudo apt-get update

# Enable the "universe" repositories

```

Then setup the dotfiles configuration with `./RipGrep/bootstrap.ps1`.
