 <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="para"><p>Look for specified patterns in the working tree files, blobs
 registered in the index file, or given tree objects.</p></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="vlist"><dl>
 <dt>
 --cached
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Instead of searching in the working tree files, check
  the blobs registered in the index file.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -a
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --text
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Process binary files as if they were text.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -i
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --ignore-case
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Ignore case differences between the patterns and the
  files.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -I
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Don't match the pattern in binary files.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -w
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --word-regexp
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Match the pattern only at word boundary (either begin at the
  beginning of a line, or preceded by a non-word character; end at
  the end of a line or followed by a non-word character).
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -v
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --invert-match
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Select non-matching lines.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -h
 </dt>
 <dt>
 -H
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  By default, the command shows the filename for each
  match. <tt>-h</tt> option is used to suppress this output.
  <tt>-H</tt> is there for completeness and does not do anything
  except it overrides <tt>-h</tt> given earlier on the command
  line.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --full-name
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  When run from a subdirectory, the command usually
  outputs paths relative to the current directory. This
  option forces paths to be output relative to the project
  top directory.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -E
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --extended-regexp
 </dt>
 <dt>
 -G
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --basic-regexp
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Use POSIX extended/basic regexp for patterns. Default
  is to use basic regexp.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -F
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --fixed-strings
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Use fixed strings for patterns (don't interpret pattern
  as a regex).
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -n
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Prefix the line number to matching lines.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -l
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --files-with-matches
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --name-only
 </dt>
 <dt>
 -L
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --files-without-match
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Instead of showing every matched line, show only the
  names of files that contain (or do not contain) matches.
  For better compatibility with <em>git-diff</em>, --name-only is a
  synonym for --files-with-matches.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -z
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --null
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Output \0 instead of the character that normally follows a
  file name.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -c
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --count
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Instead of showing every matched line, show the number of
  lines that match.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --color
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show colored matches.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --no-color
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Turn off match highlighting, even when the configuration file
  gives the default to color output.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -[ABC] &lt;context&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show <tt>context</tt> trailing (<tt>A</tt> &#8212; after), or leading (<tt>B</tt>
  &#8212; before), or both (<tt>C</tt> &#8212; context) lines, and place a
  line containing <tt>--</tt> between contiguous groups of
  matches.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -&lt;num&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  A shortcut for specifying -C&lt;num&gt;.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -f &lt;file&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Read patterns from &lt;file&gt;, one per line.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -e
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  The next parameter is the pattern. This option has to be
  used for patterns starting with - and should be used in
  scripts passing user input to grep. Multiple patterns are
  combined by <em>or</em>.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --and
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --or
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --not
 </dt>
 <dt>
 ( &#8230; )
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Specify how multiple patterns are combined using Boolean
  expressions. <tt>--or</tt> is the default operator. <tt>--and</tt> has
  higher precedence than <tt>--or</tt>. <tt>-e</tt> has to be used for all
  patterns.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --all-match
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  When giving multiple pattern expressions combined with <tt>--or</tt>,
  this flag is specified to limit the match to files that
  have lines to match all of them.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 <tt>&lt;tree&gt;&#8230;</tt>
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Search blobs in the trees for specified patterns.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Signals the end of options; the rest of the parameters
  are &lt;path&gt; limiters.
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_example">Example</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="vlist"><dl>
 <dt>
 git grep -e '#define' --and \( -e MAX_PATH -e PATH_MAX \)
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Looks for a line that has <tt>#define</tt> and either <tt>MAX_PATH</tt> or
  <tt>PATH_MAX</tt>.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 git grep --all-match -e NODE -e Unexpected
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Looks for a line that has <tt>NODE</tt> or <tt>Unexpected</tt> in
  files that have lines that match both.

	<div class="vlist"><dl>
	<dt>
	--cached
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Instead of searching in the working tree files, check
	the blobs registered in the index file.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-a
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--text
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Process binary files as if they were text.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-i
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--ignore-case
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Ignore case differences between the patterns and the
	files.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-I
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Don't match the pattern in binary files.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-w
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--word-regexp
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Match the pattern only at word boundary (either begin at the
	beginning of a line, or preceded by a non-word character; end at
	the end of a line or followed by a non-word character).
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-v
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--invert-match
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Select non-matching lines.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-h
	</dt>
	<dt>
	-H
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	By default, the command shows the filename for each
	match. <tt>-h</tt> option is used to suppress this output.
	<tt>-H</tt> is there for completeness and does not do anything
	except it overrides <tt>-h</tt> given earlier on the command
	line.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	--full-name
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	When run from a subdirectory, the command usually
	outputs paths relative to the current directory. This
	option forces paths to be output relative to the project
	top directory.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-E
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--extended-regexp
	</dt>
	<dt>
	-G
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--basic-regexp
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Use POSIX extended/basic regexp for patterns. Default
	is to use basic regexp.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-F
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--fixed-strings
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Use fixed strings for patterns (don't interpret pattern
	as a regex).
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-n
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Prefix the line number to matching lines.

	--files-with-matches
	</dt>

	</dt>
	<dt>
	-L
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--files-without-match
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Instead of showing every matched line, show only the
	names of files that contain (or do not contain) matches.
	For better compatibility with <em>git-diff</em>, --name-only is a
	synonym for --files-with-matches.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-z
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--null
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Output \0 instead of the character that normally follows a
	file name.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-c
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--count
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Instead of showing every matched line, show the number of
	lines that match.

	<dt>
	--color
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Show colored matches.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	--no-color
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Turn off match highlighting, even when the configuration file
	gives the default to color output.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-[ABC] <context>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Show <tt>context</tt> trailing (<tt>A</tt> — after), or leading (<tt>B</tt>
	— before), or both (<tt>C</tt> — context) lines, and place a
	line containing <tt>--</tt> between contiguous groups of
	matches.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-<num>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	A shortcut for specifying -C<num>.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-f <file>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Read patterns from <file>, one per line.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-e
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	The next parameter is the pattern. This option has to be
	used for patterns starting with - and should be used in
	scripts passing user input to grep. Multiple patterns are
	combined by <em>or</em>.

	<dt>
	--and

	<dt>
	--or
	</dt>
	<dt>
	--not
	</dt>
	<dt>
	( … )
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Specify how multiple patterns are combined using Boolean
	expressions. <tt>--or</tt> is the default operator. <tt>--and</tt> has
	higher precedence than <tt>--or</tt>. <tt>-e</tt> has to be used for all
	patterns.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	--all-match
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	When giving multiple pattern expressions combined with <tt>--or</tt>,
	this flag is specified to limit the match to files that
	have lines to match all of them.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	<tt><tree>…</tt>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Search blobs in the trees for specified patterns.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	--
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Signals the end of options; the rest of the parameters
	are <path> limiters.
