I’ve just released opam-grep.0.2.0 with quite a bit of change compared to the previous version. Here is the highlight:

  • Complete rewrite from shell script to OCaml, making it more portable
  • Use the faster ripgrep and ugrep over grep when available (suggestion by @Engil)
  • Use the progress library to show progress instead of a non-portable/DIY spinner

See the changelog for the full list of relevant changes.

Big thanks to @CraigFe for the progress library (such a treat!) and to @dbuenzli for bos and cmdliner in particular, making it easy to do such rewrite :relaxed:
