+
+## What it is
+
+ripgrep searches files for a pattern, like `grep`, but recursively by default and much faster on large trees. It skips files listed in `.gitignore`, hidden files and binaries unless you ask for them, so results stay relevant in code projects.
+
+```
+rg "TODO" src/
+```
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Fast on big projects.** It searches whole repositories in a moment.
+- **Sensible defaults.** Ignored and binary files stay out of the results.
+- **Used by other tools.** Editors such as Neovim's fuzzy finders call it for searching.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+ripgrep is installed from pacman. Type `rg` in a terminal. `update` keeps it current along with the rest of the pacman packages.
