From 30fd0a3950a8f14244fe6b64950bfe19b85dcce3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Gallant Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2020 08:46:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] rg: don't embellish performance ripgrep is fast, but no non-toy search tool is going to be faster in every case. It's better to be a bit more reserved instead of spreading misinformation about the performance of a tool. It may be an obvious embellishment, but plenty of people will take it seriously. In general, I think we should encourage spreading the nuance in the trade offs of our tools as opposed to hyping them. --- rg/README.md | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/rg/README.md b/rg/README.md index 5737a02..d161670 100644 --- a/rg/README.md +++ b/rg/README.md @@ -16,9 +16,9 @@ Use the `@beta` tag for pre-releases. ## Cheat Sheet > Ripgrep (`rg`) is smart.
