ack → rg

• 91 words • 1 min

I am trying hard to migrate from ack to rg, but my muscle memory is struggling to do so:

tperrotta ~/Workspace/perrotta.dev git:master✘?
❯ ack
zsh: correct 'ack' to 'ac' [nyae]? n
The program 'ack' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
  brew install ack

127 tperrotta ~/Workspace/perrotta.dev git:master✘?
x ack foo
zsh: correct 'ack' to 'ac' [nyae]? n
zsh: command not found: ack foo

And I don’t feel like alias ack=rg, as they are not fully compatible with each other.

rg is faster and more modern (citation needed). ∎
