Livegrep-CLI is a command line interface for the Livegrep tool. ⚡
Livegrep is a popular code-search tool used by many organizations to search across their code. A public instance (that searches within the Linux kernel source code) can be found at https://livegrep.com/. There's an offical CLI tool for this, but I couldn't find a CLI tool that provided the set of configurable options I wanted so I decided to write one myself. :)
This is my first Golang project of any substance, so please excuse any mistakes or non-idiomatic code. Please open an issue or file a PR if you spot any bugs or would like to suggest any improvements.
By default livegrep-cli will run against the public Livegrep instance at
https://livegrep.com/. This can be altered by setting
the LIVEGREP_URL environment variable.
$ LIVEGREP_URL=livegrep.com ./livegrep-cli $query
Command line flags are intended to be at least mostly
compatible with familiar flags from grep and ag The Silver
Searcher.
Supported environment variables:
LIVEGREP_HOSTsets the url that Livegrep should use (by default livegrep.com.LIVEGREP_USE_HTTPSdetermines whether Livegrep should use https (By default HTTPS is enabled).LIVEGREP_UNIX_SOCKETallows you to proxy traffic through a local Unix socket.
