> I tried a search to make grep ignore .gitignore because `--exclude=...` got tedious and there was ripgrep to answer my prayers.
To be clear, I was not suggesting an alias for grep, but for a hypothetical alternate ripgrep that searches everything by default but has a flag to skip ignored files. Something like
alias rgi='rg --skip-ignored'
or whatever. Or if it came with a short flag that could work too, so you could use it without an alias easily.

You don't use the same name, you make a new alias. Like rgi or something. Bonus point is you find out immediately if it's missing.
