About the project
A command-line tool for recursively searching files with regular expressions, respecting .gitignore rules by default and skipping hidden and binary files. Written in Rust, it runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and is positioned as a fast replacement for grep, ack and The Silver Searcher.
Useful for
- Find all occurrences of a string in a project's sources without scanning node_modules or .git
- Restrict the search to specific file types, e.g. rg -tpy for Python files
- Search a large log file or dump with match highlighting and line numbers

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 11, 2026, 11:14 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-11 (UTC), 00:40–11:05: 69008 → 69026 stars (+18). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +36 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- About 199 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
