Chris McDonough ✅Every time I grep a repository I'm not familiar with for something and some single-fucking-line-"compressed-"ten-megabyte Javascript bullshit gets spit out, I come near to losing my shit.
Lou Zell@chrism 100%. Then play whack-a-mole ignoring them. Hopefully they are all in a single dir, but more than likely they are scattered everywhere in the unfamiliar code base. Why not.
@louzell ripgrep does have a --max-filesize flag that helps a bit
@chrism Neat! My driver is ack, I just poked around and there is a -o flag that "Show only the part of each line matching PATTERN". Will give that a try too

Attached: 1 image FIxed it. ripgrep's -M flag means "don't print matching lines longer than this many bytes"
