Silver Searcher can also match paths, instead of file contents. `ag -g <regex>` recursively finds paths that match a regular expression. Unlike `find -regex ...` it ignores files you usually don't care about (.git/*, *.pyc, *.min.js, ...) #SilverSearcher #TIL

@alex not heard of this before today. I use ripgrep though which sounds similar

@sldrant ack, ag, and ripgrep are all very similar. I've used ag for a long time, the new-to-me part is `ag -g`
