UniversalCodeGrep

What is UniversalCodeGrep?

UniversalCodeGrep (ucg) is a fast grep-like tool designed for searching large codebases. It aims to be largely command-line compatible with Ack, to some extent with ag, and where appropriate with grep. Search patterns are specified as PCRE regular expressions. ucg is written in C++11 and leverages the language's concurrency and other features to increase scanning speed while reducing reliance on third-party libraries and improving portability. The PCRE library's JIT compilation feature provides a significant performance boost on most platforms
