Overview

Small tool for greping supporting .gitignore and custom .ignore file. This make easy to ignore files that reside in git like rspec support files.

Installation

cargo install gkosgrep

Usage

I did this to use inside vim as a replacement for the silver searcher that would be easier to customize what is ignored. The usage is damn simple

gkosgrep <path> [pattern]

If ignored file is missing it is just ignored. To use this with fzf inside vim, do:

command! -bang -nargs=* Gkosgrep
      \ call fzf#vim#grep(
      \   $HOME.'/.cargo/bin/gkosgrep . '.shellescape(<q-args>), 0,
      \   {}, <bang>0)

Then use Gkosgrep command to filter files

If you (like me) want searches to ignore file names use this

function! GkosGrepFzf(query, fullscreen)
  let command_fmt = 'gkosgrep . %s || true'
  let initial_command = printf(command_fmt, shellescape(a:query))
  let reload_command = printf(command_fmt, '{q}')
  let spec = {'options': ['--phony', '--query', a:query, '--bind', 'change:reload:'.reload_command]}
  call fzf#vim#grep(initial_command, 0, fzf#vim#with_preview(spec), a:fullscreen)
endfunction
command! -nargs=* -bang GkosGrep call GkosGrepFzf(<q-args>, <bang>0)
