This is a ripgrep wrapper. The idea is to have a main loop in which the program
will ask you an option, and then it runs ripgrep with --json flag, and the wrapper can take the output of ripgrep and
do other things with the output.
It can be pretty useful to explore an unknown source code. You can navigate the code by greping something, and do some sort of "nested greps" inside the results
You must install ripgrep to run this program, because rg_wrapper will launch
an instance of ripgrep each time it is used. To check if you have ripgrep installed type in the following command on
your terminal and you should see a biiiig help message.
rg --helpYou should see something starting with this, and you're ready to go:
ripgrep 13.0.0 Andrew Gallant jamslam@gmail.com
ripgrep (rg) recursively searches the current directory for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will respect gitignore rules and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files.
If you see something like "error" when typing the rg --help command, then you need to install ripgrep or found out what
did happened with your rip grep installation (if you're running windows, did you install ripgrep in the same shell you are
running this project? eg: bash shell, powershell, wsl, etc)
