#ackmate

### Precursor [AckMate](https://github.com/protocool/AckMate) is a [TextMate](http://macromates.com/) plugin based on [Ack](http://betterthangrep.com/) that provides a **much** faster *"Search in project..."* function. If you've ever been bored looking at the beach ball when using the search built-in with TextMate, you should go grab it. However, AckMate (or more precisely, Ack) doesn't know about our new filetypes, like [SASS](http://sass-lang.com/), [SCSS](http://sass-lang.com/) and [CoffeeScript](http://coffeescript.org/). But it's painless to let Ack know that you're working with these files and to include them in its searches. Here's how. ### Adding Custom Filetypes to AckMate 1) Create a file called .ackrc in your home directory:

$ mate ~/.ackrc

2) Add the following lines to .ackrc:

--type-add=scss=.scss --type-add=sass=.sass --type-add=coffeescript=.coffee

In my case is .twig but you can do it for any extension. It's simple and you can check it in wiki ack's page but if you're not too acquainted with these kind of things, just do the following:

mate ~/.ackrc

and add these lines:

--type-add php=twig

And you got it!. P.S.: Other examples:
