If you've got enough permissions on the device to install a local llm, go ahead and install rg. After a few decades of installing my pet toys on every *nix box I maintain, I've seriously scaled back. Yet I continue to install rg. I can think of only two other non-default Debian install tools that I use regularly, those are git and ncdu.
also made ripgrep
And xsv. Burntsushi projects have certain quiet sensibility that I appreciate.
I only recently realized that xsv is now unmaintained. The author now suggests using qsv or xan.
So this is who I get to "blame" for LLMs constantly saying "I want to use `rg` but I see that it's not installed on this system...".

ripgrep is a required dependency of codex when installing it via brew on macOS. So you should at least not see it if you fall into that scenario. :-)
