ripgrep

ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that 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.

rg image src/	Search in dir src/ recursively
rg image	Search image in current dir recursively
rg '^We' test.txt	Regex searching support (lines starting with We)
rg -i image	Search image and ignore case (case-insensitive search)
rg -s image	Smart case search
rg -F '(test)'	Search literally, i.e., without using regular expression
rg image -g '*.py'	File globing (search in certain files), can be used multiple times
rg image -g '!*.py'	Negative file globing (do not search in certain files)
rg image --type py or rg image -tpy1	Search image in Python file
rg image -Tpy	Do not search image in Python file type
rg -l image	Only show files containing image (Do not show the lines)
rg --files-without-match image	Show files not containing image
rg -v image	Inverse search (search files not containing image)
rg -w image	Search complete word
rg --count	Show the number of matching lines in a file
rg --count-matches	Show the number of matchings in a file

How to exclude directories

To exclude directories, we also use the -g option. For example, to exclude dir1 and dir2, use the following command:

rg pattern -g '!dir1/' -g '!dir2/'

jq

useful jq snippets

select

jq -r --arg image_name "_something" ' .[] | select( .value | endswith($image_name))| .value' 

using jq with terraform

taking a terraform plan and outputting only the things that will change on the plan. such as only the resource names.
this is useful when you need to do some targeted deploys.

terraform plan -input=false -compact-warnings -out plan.tfplan;  
terraform show -no-color -json plan.tfplan | jq -r '.resource_changes[] | select(.change.actions[0]=="update" or .change.actions[0]=="create" or .change.actions[0]=="create") | .address'
