<div class="paragraph">
<p>Look for specified patterns in the tracked files in the work tree, blobs
registered in the index file, or blobs in given tree objects.  Patterns
are lists of one or more search expressions separated by newline
characters.  An empty string as search expression matches all lines.</p>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="dlist">
<dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">--cached</dt>
<dd>
<p>Instead of searching tracked files in the working tree, search
blobs registered in the index file.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--untracked</dt>
<dd>
<p>In addition to searching in the tracked files in the working
tree, search also in untracked files.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--no-index</dt>
<dd>
<p>Search files in the current directory that is not managed by Git,
or by ignoring that the current directory is managed by Git.  This
is rather similar to running the regular <code>grep</code>(<code>1</code>) utility with its
<code>-r</code> option specified, but with some additional benefits, such as
using pathspec patterns to limit paths;  see the <em>pathspec</em> entry
in <a href="gitglossary.html">gitglossary(7)</a> for more information.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This option cannot be used together with <code>--cached</code> or <code>--untracked</code>.
See also <code>grep.fallbackToNoIndex</code> in <em>CONFIGURATION</em> below.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--no-exclude-standard</dt>
<dd>
<p>Also search in ignored files by not honoring the .<code>gitignore</code>
mechanism. Only useful with <code>--untracked</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--exclude-standard</dt>
<dd>
<p>Do not pay attention to ignored files specified via the .<code>gitignore</code>
mechanism.  Only useful when searching files in the current directory
with <code>--no-index</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--recurse-submodules</dt>
<dd>
<p>Recursively search in each submodule that is active and
checked out in the repository.  When used in combination with the
<em>&lt;tree&gt;</em> option the prefix of all submodule output will be the name of
the parent project&#8217;s <em>&lt;tree&gt;</em> object.  This option cannot be used together
with <code>--untracked</code>, and it has no effect if <code>--no-index</code> is specified.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-a</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--text</dt>
<dd>
<p>Process binary files as if they were text.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--textconv</dt>
<dd>
<p>Honor textconv filter settings.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--no-textconv</dt>
<dd>
<p>Do not honor textconv filter settings.
This is the default.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-i</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--ignore-case</dt>
<dd>
<p>Ignore case differences between the patterns and the
files.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-I</dt>
<dd>
<p>Don&#8217;t match the pattern in binary files.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--max-depth &lt;depth&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>For each &lt;pathspec&gt; given on command line, descend at most &lt;depth&gt;
levels of directories. A value of -1 means no limit.
This option is ignored if &lt;pathspec&gt; contains active wildcards.
In other words if "a*" matches a directory named "a*",
"*" is matched literally so --max-depth is still effective.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-r</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--recursive</dt>
<dd>
<p>Same as <code>--max-depth=-1</code>; this is the default.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--no-recursive</dt>
<dd>
<p>Same as <code>--max-depth=0</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-w</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--word-regexp</dt>
<dd>
<p>Match the pattern only at word boundary (either begin at the
beginning of a line, or preceded by a non-word character; end at
the end of a line or followed by a non-word character).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-v</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--invert-match</dt>
<dd>
<p>Select non-matching lines.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-h</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">-H</dt>
<dd>
<p>By default, the command shows the filename for each
match.  <code>-h</code> option is used to suppress this output.
<code>-H</code> is there for completeness and does not do anything
except it overrides <code>-h</code> given earlier on the command
line.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--full-name</dt>
<dd>
<p>When run from a subdirectory, the command usually
outputs paths relative to the current directory.  This
option forces paths to be output relative to the project
top directory.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-E</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--extended-regexp</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">-G</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--basic-regexp</dt>
<dd>
<p>Use POSIX extended/basic regexp for patterns.  Default
is to use basic regexp.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-P</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--perl-regexp</dt>
<dd>
<p>Use Perl-compatible regular expressions for patterns.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Support for these types of regular expressions is an optional
compile-time dependency. If Git wasn&#8217;t compiled with support for them
providing this option will cause it to die.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-F</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--fixed-strings</dt>

<p>Use fixed strings for patterns (don&#8217;t interpret pattern
as a regex).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-n</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--line-number</dt>
<dd>
<p>Prefix the line number to matching lines.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--column</dt>
<dd>
<p>Prefix the 1-indexed byte-offset of the first match from the start of the
matching line.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-l</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--files-with-matches</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--name-only</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">-L</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--files-without-match</dt>
<dd>
<p>Instead of showing every matched line, show only the
names of files that contain (or do not contain) matches.
For better compatibility with <em>git diff</em>, <code>--name-only</code> is a
synonym for <code>--files-with-matches</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-O[&lt;pager&gt;]</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--open-files-in-pager[=&lt;pager&gt;]</dt>
<dd>
<p>Open the matching files in the pager (not the output of <em>grep</em>).
If the pager happens to be "less" or "vi", and the user
specified only one pattern, the first file is positioned at
the first match automatically. The <code>pager</code> argument is
optional; if specified, it must be stuck to the option
without a space. If <code>pager</code> is unspecified, the default pager
will be used (see <code>core.pager</code> in <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-z</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--null</dt>
<dd>
<p>Use \0 as the delimiter for pathnames in the output, and print
them verbatim. Without this option, pathnames with "unusual"
characters are quoted as explained for the configuration
variable <code>core.quotePath</code> (see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-o</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--only-matching</dt>
<dd>
<p>Print only the matched (non-empty) parts of a matching line, with each such
part on a separate output line.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-c</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--count</dt>
<dd>
<p>Instead of showing every matched line, show the number of
lines that match.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--color[=&lt;when&gt;]</dt>
<dd>
<p>Show colored matches.
The value must be always (the default), never, or auto.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--no-color</dt>
<dd>
<p>Turn off match highlighting, even when the configuration file
gives the default to color output.
Same as <code>--color=never</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--break</dt>
<dd>
<p>Print an empty line between matches from different files.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--heading</dt>
<dd>
<p>Show the filename above the matches in that file instead of
at the start of each shown line.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-p</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--show-function</dt>
<dd>
<p>Show the preceding line that contains the function name of
the match, unless the matching line is a function name itself.
The name is determined in the same way as <code>git</code> <code>diff</code> works out
patch hunk headers (see <em>Defining a custom hunk-header</em> in
<a href="gitattributes.html">gitattributes(5)</a>).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-&lt;num&gt;</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">-C &lt;num&gt;</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--context &lt;num&gt;</dt>

<p>Show &lt;num&gt; leading and trailing lines, and place a line
containing <code>--</code> between contiguous groups of matches.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-A &lt;num&gt;</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--after-context &lt;num&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Show &lt;num&gt; trailing lines, and place a line containing

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-B &lt;num&gt;</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--before-context &lt;num&gt;</dt>

<code>--</code> between contiguous groups of matches.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-W</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--function-context</dt>
<dd>
<p>Show the surrounding text from the previous line containing a
function name up to the one before the next function name,
effectively showing the whole function in which the match was

<p>Not all pattern types support patterns containing \0. Git will error
