You can't in most corporate env machines.

You may be able to download ripgrep, and execute it (!), but god forbid you can create an alias in your shell in a persistant manner.

huh? If you can download and execute files, you can alias it. Either in your .bashrc file, or by making a symlink.

		I daily drive linux, but I hop from clients to clients and I have probably served about 200 different structures so far. Most corporate machines are Windows boxes with ps and cmd.exe heavily restricted, no admin, and anti malware software surveilling I/O like a hawk. You might get a git bash if you are lucky, but it's usually so slow it's completely unusable. In one client I once tried to sneak in Clink. Flagged instantly by security and reported to HR. It's easy to forget that life outside the HN bubble is still stuck there.

Really? "most" even? What CAN you do if you can't edit files in your own $HOME?
