Feature comparison of ack, ag, git-grep, GNU grep and ripgrep

There are many greplike tools available to choose from. ripgrep is currently the fastest, which folks seem to focus on, but they have different features. Here's a chart to help you see which tools can do what.

If you find this chart useful, consider making one for the projects you run, even if it includes "competing" projects. The best project for someone might not be your project, and that's OK.

If you have updates to the chart, please submit as a GitHub issue.
