# offgrep

_A lousy **[ripgrep]** rip-off in pure Python_

[ripgrep]: https://github.com/burntsushi/ripgrep

Searches text in a grep-like manner in text files,
recursively searching for files from the provided starting-point
or from the current working directory.

When doing so, **offgrep** respects ignore rules in a **.gitignore** file.

This behavior is a small fraction of **ripgrep’s** capabilities,
combined with a ridiculously low execution speed.

So if you have any chance to run the original, please use **ripgrep**
instead of **offgrep**.

If you – however – are in a super restricted network (eg. government)
without a chance to install **ripgrep**,
but are able to install Python packages, **offgrep** might be an interesting
alterative.
