GitGrepBugs

Grep Bugs with Git

The goal of this script is to be able to scan git repos with GrepBugs (http://www.grepbugs.com) rules and requiring little to no dependencies. Currently the only dependency is a bash shell and the git command. Git has some really good search capability, you can find a great introduction by https://github.com/travisjeffery here http://travisjeffery.com/b/2012/02/search-a-git-repo-like-a-ninja/

Usage

Examples below assume the GitGrepBugs script is in your PATH.

Example 1:

git clone https://github.com/<user>/<project>
cd <project>
GitGrepBugs

Example 2:

git clone https://github.com/<user>/<project>
GitGrepBugs <project>

Output

Currently results are just printed to the console. You can redirect the output to a file, example:

GitGrepBugs <project> > results.txt
