or add `--type-add=web:*.{html,css,js}` to your ripgrep configuration file.
([Configuration files](#configuration-file) are covered in more detail later.)
#### The special `all` file type
A special option supported by the `--type` flag is `all`. `--type all` looks
for a match in any of the supported file types listed by `--type-list`,
including those added on the command line using `--type-add`. It's equivalent
to the command `rg --type agda --type asciidoc --type asm ...`, where `...`
stands for a list of `--type` flags for the rest of the types in `--type-list`.
As an example, let's suppose you have a shell script in your current directory,
`my-shell-script`, which includes a shell library, `my-shell-library.bash`.
Both `rg --type sh` and `rg --type all` would only search for matches in
`my-shell-library.bash`, not `my-shell-script`, because the globs matched
by the `sh` file type don't include files without an extension. On the
other hand, `rg --type-not all` would search `my-shell-script` but not
`my-shell-library.bash`.
