Summary
Add configuration for
fdandripgrepsearch tools with sensible defaults that work well inside git repositories, plus documentation explaining the rationale and usage patterns.Changes
New config files:
home/.config/rg/config— ripgrep defaults (hidden files, no VCS ignore rules, exclude common noise dirs)home/.config/fish/conf.d/search.fish— fish alias forfdwith matching behavior, setsRIPGREP_CONFIG_PATHDocumentation:
README.mdwith a new "Search tools (fd / rg)" section covering:--no-ignore-vcsis needed)CLAUDE.mdto document the primary terminal stack and new config ownershipImplementation Details
Both tools are configured identically to exclude:
node_modules,dist,.git,target,__pycache__,.cache.The key insight is using
--no-ignore-vcsto override.gitignore(which is often overly restrictive for generated configs, editor files, and local artifacts) while maintaining explicit excludes for directories you almost never want to search.The
fdalias is implemented as a fish function to allow easy overriding withcommand fdwhen needed.https://claude.ai/code/session_01WhWQGfsVpgu1PpkGXnWgRj
