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] [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. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** igrep - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - igrep: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ig/igrep/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - igrep - 1.2.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: igrep from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Interactive grep | https://github.com/konradsz/igrep - apk - igrep-doc - 1.2.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: igrep-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Interactive grep (documentation) | https://github.com/konradsz/igrep - pacman - igrep - 1.3.0-2: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: igrep from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | Interactive grep | https://github.com/konradsz/igrep - zypper - igrep - 1.3.0~0-2.3: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: igrep from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | Interactive Grep | https://github.com/konradsz/igrep - MacPorts - igrep: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: textproc/igrep/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - main/igrep: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/igrep.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [hgrep](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hgrep/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, grep, ripgrep, search. - [jvgrep](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jvgrep/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, grep, search. - [ripgrep](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ripgrep/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, grep, search. - [ripgrep-all](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ripgrep-all/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, ripgrep, search. - [sift](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sift/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, grep, search. - [ugrep](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ugrep/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, grep, search. - [vgrep](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/vgrep/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, grep, search. - [cgrep](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cgrep/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, grep, search. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
