DESCRIPTION

- Look for specified patterns in the working tree files, blobs
- registered in the index file, or given tree objects.
+ Look for specified patterns in the tracked files in the work tree, blobs
+ registered in the index file, or blobs in given tree objects.
OPTIONS
Don't match the pattern in binary files.
--max-depth <depth>::
- For each pathspec given on command line, descend at most <depth>
+ For each <pathspec> given on command line, descend at most <depth>
levels of directories. A negative value means no limit.
-w::
--files-without-match::
Instead of showing every matched line, show only the
names of files that contain (or do not contain) matches.
- For better compatibility with 'git-diff', --name-only is a
+ For better compatibility with 'git diff', --name-only is a
synonym for --files-with-matches.
-z::
this flag is specified to limit the match to files that
have lines to match all of them.
+-q::
+--quiet::
+ Do not output matched lines; instead, exit with status 0 when
+ there is a match and with non-zero status when there isn't.
+
`<tree>...`::
Search blobs in the trees for specified patterns.
\--::
Signals the end of options; the rest of the parameters
- are <path> limiters.
+ are <pathspec> limiters.
+ <pathspec>...::
+ If given, limit the search to paths matching at least one pattern.
+ Both leading paths match and glob(7) patterns are supported.
Example
-------
+ git grep 'time_t' -- '*.[ch]'::
+ Looks for `time_t` in all tracked .c and .h files in the working
+ directory and its subdirectories.
+
git grep -e \'#define\' --and \( -e MAX_PATH -e PATH_MAX \)::
Looks for a line that has `#define` and either `MAX_PATH` or
`PATH_MAX`.
