git grep -i "search pattern"
Search for patterns in the repository, ignoring the case of the search pattern
This command searches the entire git repository for a specified pattern, ignoring the case.
It works by scanning all files in the current repository's workspace and matches against the provided search pattern in a case-insensitive manner due to the '-i' flag.
-i
is the short version of --ignore-case
. If you want to limit the search to specific paths, you can append them at the end of the command. For example, you can use git grep -i "search pattern" src/
to only search in the src/
directory.
