vgrep -- A pager for grep

Screenshot

Usage

  • As a pager:

    grep -rn data /some/path | vgrep  # -n for line numbers

  • As a drop-in replacement for grep:

    vgrep data /some/path                  # recursive by default
vgrep data /some/path | vgrep default  # works with pipes, too

  • With a git alias defined in your ~/.gitconfig:

    git config --global alias.vgrep '!__git_vgrep () { git grep --color=always "$@" | vgrep; }; __git_vgrep'
git vgrep data

  • Using ack/ag instead of grep? No problem:

    ack data | vgrep           # Output of `ack` is compatible
ack --color data | vgrep   # Even coloring works
ag --color data | vgrep    # Same for `ag`

Keybindings:

  • Use hjkl or the arrow keys to navigate
  • Enter opens a pager with the selected file
  • e opens the selected file in $EDITOR
  • Tab switches between results list and pager
  • q closes the pager and then the entire application.
