history

Project history and usage

igrep is a Rust terminal UI around recursive text search: it runs ripgrep's `grep` library in the background, lets the user browse matches interactively, and opens the selected match in an editor.

Project history

The GitHub repository was created in 2020, but public release tags visible through GitHub start in 2022. The README keeps the project deliberately focused: a single `ig` command, ripgrep-compatible search behavior, editor integration, and keybindings for filtering and navigating matches.

Adoption history

igrep has modest but real package-manager reach for a niche CLI: the README documents prebuilt binaries plus Homebrew, Scoop, Arch Linux, Alpine Edge, and `cargo install`, while Homebrew and other package records classify it as an interactive grep tool.

How it is used

Users run `ig [OPTIONS] <PATTERN|--type-list> [PATHS]...`; igrep searches recursively, respects ripgrep configuration through `RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH`, and chooses an editor from command-line options or editor environment variables.

Why package nerds care

igrep is a tidy example of the post-ripgrep CLI pattern: reuse a fast search engine as a library, then add just enough terminal UI to make search results navigable without becoming a full editor or IDE.

Timeline

2020: GitHub repository created.
2022: v0.1.2 release tag published.
2023: v1.0.0 release tag published.
2024: v1.3.0 release tag published.

Related projects

igrep is directly related to ripgrep and the Rust `grep` crate. It sits in the same package-manager neighborhood as fzf-assisted search workflows, editor quickfix lists, and terminal file-search interfaces.
