DESCRIPTION
Ignore case differences between the patterns and the
files.
+-I::
+ Don't match the pattern in binary files.
+
-w | --word-regexp::
Match the pattern only at word boundary (either begin at the
beginning of a line, or preceded by a non-word character; end at
Use POSIX extended/basic regexp for patterns. Default
is to use basic regexp.
+-F | --fixed-strings::
+ Use fixed strings for patterns (don't interpret pattern
+ as a regex).
+
-n::
Prefix the line number to matching lines.
line containing `--` between contiguous groups of
matches.
+-<num>::
+ A shortcut for specifying -C<num>.
+
-f <file>::
Read patterns from <file>, one per line.
combined by 'or'.
--and | --or | --not | ( | )::
- Specify how multiple patterns are combined using boolean
+ Specify how multiple patterns are combined using Boolean
expressions. `--or` is the default operator. `--and` has
higher precedence than `--or`. `-e` has to be used for all
patterns.
+--all-match::
+ When giving multiple pattern expressions combined with `--or`,
+ this flag is specified to limit the match to files that
+ have lines to match all of them.
+
`<tree>...`::
Search blobs in the trees for specified patterns.
Looks for a line that has `#define` and either `MAX_PATH` or
`PATH_MAX`.
+git grep --all-match -e NODE -e Unexpected::
+ Looks for a line that has `NODE` or `Unexpected` in
+ files that have lines that match both.
