Description
Search for the specified patterns in all project files.
Boolean Options
The following options can appear as often as necessary to express
the pattern to locate:
-e PATTERN
--and, --or, --not, -(, -)
Further, the -r/--revision option may be specified multiple
times in order to scan multiple trees. If the same file matches in more than
one tree, only the first result is reported, prefixed by the revision name
it was found under.
Examples
Look for a line that has '#define' and either 'MAX_PATH or
'PATH_MAX':
- repo grep -e '#define' --and -\( -e MAX_PATH
-e PATH_MAX \)
Look for a line that has 'NODE' or 'Unexpected' in files that
contain a line that matches both expressions:
- repo grep --all-match -e NODE -e Unexpected
