My only beef with ripgrep is that "rg" is only a small typo away from "rm".

One time I almost deleted my working directory but luckly I had passed the -i flag for case insensitive search :)

Have you considered creating an alias - such as "rip" or "grrr" - for using ripgrep to help avoid that concern of rg vs rm?

The "rm" thing was only (almost) a problem that time because I had passed a list of files to ripgrep, instead of passing it a list of directories to do a recursive search. rm by default don't erase directories.

But now that you mention it, creating an alias gr=rg sounds like a no-brainer. Thanks.
