Ripgrep is faster than grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift (2016)

As I have overloaded my rg with a customized rg alias, I can't pipe multiple rg calls.

Otherwise it would look like this:

    # rg nokogiri | rg linux
    
    <stdin>:11:Gemfile.lock:647:  nokogiri (1.15.5-x86_64-linux)

But that is a me problem.

The workaround is of course just to pipe into grep instead.

Or `\rg`, which will use the command directly and skip your alias.

Oh, look at that. Nice.

Still losing the coloring but you can't have everything.

If you want to win on both counts (no buggy pipes and coloring), and if you're certain of the order, you can use the following:

    rg nokogiri.*linux
