449 Instead of searching tracked files in the working tree, search
450 blobs registered in the index file.
458 Search files in the current directory, not just those tracked by git.
469 Process binary files as if they were text.
480 Ignore case differences between the patterns and the
489 Don
’t match the pattern in binary files.
493 --max-depth
<depth
>
497 For each
<pathspec
> given on command line, descend at most
<depth
>
498 levels of directories. A negative value means no limit.
509 Match the pattern only at word boundary (either begin at the
510 beginning of a line, or preceded by a non-word character; end at
511 the end of a line or followed by a non-word character).
522 Select non-matching lines.
533 By default, the command shows the filename for each
534 match.
<tt>-h
</tt> option is used to suppress this output.
535 <tt>-H
</tt> is there for completeness and does not do anything
536 except it overrides
<tt>-h
</tt> given earlier on the command
545 When run from a subdirectory, the command usually
546 outputs paths relative to the current directory. This
547 option forces paths to be output relative to the project
565 Use POSIX extended/basic regexp for patterns. Default
566 is to use basic regexp.
577 Use fixed strings for patterns (don
’t interpret pattern
589 Prefix the line number to matching lines.
605 --files-without-match
609 Instead of showing every matched line, show only the
610 names of files that contain (or do not contain) matches.
611 For better compatibility with
<em>git diff
</em>,
<tt>--name-only
</tt> is a
612 synonym for
<tt>--files-with-matches
</tt>.
619 --open-files-in-pager [
<pager
>]
623 Open the matching files in the pager (not the output of
<em>grep
</em>).
624 If the pager happens to be
"less" or
"vi", and the user
625 specified only one pattern, the first file is positioned at
626 the first match automatically.
637 Output \
0 instead of the character that normally follows a
649 Instead of showing every matched line, show the number of
654 --color[=
<when

658 Show colored matches.
659 The value must be always (the default), never, or auto.
667 Turn off match highlighting, even when the configuration file
668 gives the default to color output.
669 Same as
<tt>--color=never

673 -[ABC]
<context

677 Show
<tt>context

<tt>A

679 line containing

699 Show the preceding line that contains the function name of
700 the match, unless the matching line is a function name itself.
701 The name is determined in the same way as

711 Read patterns from
<file

719 The next parameter is the pattern. This option has to be
720 used for patterns starting with
<tt>-
</tt> and should be used in
721 scripts passing user input to grep. Multiple patterns are
722 combined by
<em>or
</em>.
739 Specify how multiple patterns are combined using Boolean
740 expressions.
<tt>--or
</tt> is the default operator.
<tt>--and
</tt> has
741 higher precedence than
<tt>--or
</tt>.
<tt>-e
</tt> has to be used for all
750 When giving multiple pattern expressions combined with
<tt>--or
</tt>,
751 this flag is specified to limit the match to files that
752 have lines to match all of them.
763 Do not output matched lines; instead, exit with status
0 when
764 there is a match and with non-zero status when there isn
’t.
772 Instead of searching tracked files in the working tree, search
773 blobs in the given trees.
781 Signals the end of options; the rest of the parameters
782 are
<pathspec

786 <pathspec
>…
790 If given, limit the search to paths matching at least one pattern.
791 Both leading paths match and glob(
7) patterns are supported.
