...which is awesome if you can request/install VS Code but not ripgrep.

You can find the rg binary in the VS installation (at least, I can on Windows at my place of employment).



Hello thank you for pointing this out. I hate how slow grep is in Windows :( and I cannot install rg (I have no choice in the OS at work)


What’s the nature of your work so you are not allowed to install software?


I'm not allowed to install arbitrary software, only those that are provided by IT. It is just company policy and I cannot change that.
