# Include Ignore Files In Ripgrep Search
|
|
|
|
By default, [ripgrep (`rg`)](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) will look
|
|
for and respect _ignore_ files like `.gitignore`. Any file and directory marked
|
|
by those ignore files will no be included in an `rg` search.
|
|
|
|
This is usually what you want. Sometimes, however, it can be useful to get
|
|
results from this ignored files as well.
|
|
|
|
In order to ignore your ignore files, pass the `--no-ignore` flag to `rg`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ rg --no-ignore ENV_VAR_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Something to keep in mind is that `rg` also ignores _hidden_ files and
|
|
directories (those things that are prefixed with a `.`, such as `.env` or
|
|
`.config/`). If some of your ignored files are also _hidden_ files, then they
|
|
still won't show up in search. You'll need the `--hidden` flag as well.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ rg --no-ignore --hidden ENV_VAR_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A shorthand equivalent for that is `-uu`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ rg -uu ENV_VAR_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `man rg` for more details.
