  Description     : line-oriented search tool that recursively searches your current directory for a regex pattern

ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches your
current directory for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore
rules. To a first approximation, ripgrep combines the usability of The
Silver Searcher (similar to ack) with the raw speed of GNU grep.

On the upstream web page one can find a comparison between ripgrep, ag,
git grep, sift, pt, ack, usg, and GNU grep. A more elaborated comparison
can be found at the author's blog post [0]. In a nutshell ripgrep is
faster than any mentioned alternative, and provides almost the same
number features.

There's a PPA with ripgrep packages for Ubuntu artful and zesty [1], so
Debian package can be easily based on the existing Ubuntu package. As I
understand packaging ripgrep for Debian will require packaging several
Rust libraries. I'm not familiar with Rust (well, non at all), so CCing
pkg-rust-maintainers in hope somebody will be interested %)
