DESCRIPTION
pt (the Platinum Searcher) is a fast code search tool written in Go, similar to ag (The Silver Searcher) and ack. It recursively searches directory trees for text patterns, automatically skipping files listed in .gitignore and other VCS ignore files.The tool is designed for searching source code in large projects. It supports filtering by file type, word-boundary matching, and context display around matches. Being written in Go gives it good cross-platform support with a single static binary.
