I sometimes can't read man pages

took me 30 minutes to realize this
import [-b branch] [-I pattern] [-m message] [-r repository-path] directory (alias: im) Create an initial commit in a repository from the file hierarchy within the specified directory. The created commit will not have any parent commits, i.e. it will be a root commit. Also create a new reference which provides a branch name for the newly created commit. Show the path of each imported file to indicate progress.

This release also brings in a 2nd language to the codebase, C3!

Slowly with time, more and more C is replaced by C3

And so I wrote this monstrosity of regex today
\(\(fn \)\@<!.\([^:][A-Z]\)\@<=.*\((\)\@=\).\(\(\)\@<=.*\(;\)\@=\)/\=substitute(substitute(submatch(1), '[A-Z]', '\L&', ''), '[a-z]\@<=[A-Z]', '_\L&', 'g') . '(' . submatch(5) . ' @extern("' . submatch(1) . '")'

I got bored, so I made RefCell from Rust in C
Now you have light runtime borrow checking and if you define NDEBUG, it becomes noop

you can find the code with example here:

I'm surprised my bad (kinda new to Rust) code is faster than ripgrep somehow

Thanks! I still need to test everything and ensure it is working and yeah, sneak peek of some fun stuff
--exec-match Run a custom command to perform matching --exec Run a command on each matching line --lisp-match Perform matching using a Lisp script --lisp Run a Lisp script on each matching line

Somehow, I have managed to implement POSIX grep in Rust, that is, I don't support -x argument, neither colors

but I'll work on that stuff later, these options are supported

I'll do finishing touches, maybe add colors and I'll publish it to crates.io and then work on some of my features
Pattern Selection: -E, --extended Match using regex, for grep compat -F, --fixed Match using fixed strings, for grep compat -e, --extend pattern Add additional patterns using regex -f, --from-file file Load pattern list for match from a file -i, --ignore-case Perform case-insensitive matching Output Control: -c, --count Write only the count of matching lines to stdout -l, --list-files Write only the names of files with matches -n, --numbers Precede each output line by its line number in the file -q, --quiet Suppress all output Miscellaneous: -h, --help Print help message to stderr -s, --suppress Suppress error messages for missing files -v, --invert-match Select lines that do not match
