About igrep
igrep runs a search with ripgrep's library in the background and lists the matches in an interactive terminal view. You pick a result and igrep opens that file at the match in your chosen text editor, which is vim by default.
It accepts a regular expression and files or directories, and searches directories recursively. It suits developers who search a codebase from the terminal and want to jump straight to a result. igrep supports macOS and Linux, and the developer says it reportedly works on Windows as well.
