About:
Ugrep is an ultra-fast, regex-compatible search tool that enhances traditional grep with an interactive query UI and fuzzy search capabilities. It supports searching across compressed archives and various file formats, providing a powerful alternative for developers and system administrators.
Key Features:
  • Interactive query user interface (TUI)
  • Fuzzy search and pattern matching
  • Archive search (zip, tar, etc.)
  • Ultra-fast performance
Use Cases:
  • Searching large codebases efficiently
  • Analyzing log files and archives
  • Interactive data exploration
Alternatives:
  • ripgrep – ripgrep is also extremely fast but Ugrep offers a built-in interactive UI and archive search
  • grep – Standard grep is ubiquitous but significantly slower and lacks Ugrep's advanced features
