Discover how Rip grep, a command line tool written in Rust, has helped the author become a more adaptable developer and contribute effectively to open source projects. It speeds up debugging and allows for quick searching of keywords in files, making it easier to work with unfamiliar codebases.

I couldn't contribute without this tool

<p>Now I will use ripgrep when I will try to understand a codebase</p>
