Use ag instead of ack https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher * ag is faster than ack * ag searches all files by default (but still ignores gitignored files). This removes the need for ack's `--type-add=` options. * The command is 33% shorter than ack! 2013-02-28 13:57:18 -05:00			`ag -l $find_this $* \| xargs sed -i '' "s/$find_this/$replace_with/g"`
