    Friends of ripgrep:

    I'd like to give a big Thank You to @okdana for their recent hard work on ripgrep. This includes new features like --line-regexp, heroic effort on zsh auto-completion and thinking through some thorny argv issues with me.

    I'd also like to thank @ericbn for their work on improving ripgrep's argv 📜 parsing by allowing some flags to override others.

    Thanks @okdana and @ericbn!
