RFC: Implement support for "git grep" #1012

Open ghedsouza opened 6 years ago

ghedsouza commented 6 years ago

I would like GitSavvy to support the "git grep" command for searching source code.

Would such a change be supported by the project maintainer? If so, maybe we can find someone to work on it (possibly myself).

I dont use git grep in my daily usage. How you you expect this to work?

ghedsouza commented 6 years ago

The command would be git: grep [search-term].

When entered through the command palette, it would run git grep [search-term] and drop the results into a new tab, similar to git: blame.

Ideally, the results would be made clickable (like the builtin search), so you could double click on a line in the search results to open that file at that line number.

Side note, the benefit of git grep over the builtin search is that it only searches through checked-in files and so tends to be extremely fast and give more relevant results.
