The command rg --no-ignore --hidden ${regular_expression}
is using the rg
command-line tool with certain options and arguments. Here's the breakdown:
rg
: This is the command used to runripgrep
, a powerful line-oriented search tool.
Options:
-
--no-ignore
: This option tellsrg
not to honor any ignore patterns specified in.gitignore
,.ignore
, and similar files. Basically, it searches files and directories that would otherwise be ignored. -
--hidden
: This option tellsrg
to search hidden files and directories, whose names are preceded by a dot. By default,rg
does not search hidden files or directories.
${regular_expression}

Overall, the command performs a search using rg
without ignoring any patterns specified in ignore files and including hidden files and directories, based on the provided regular expression.
