Is there a way to exclude certain paths/directories/files when searching a git repository using git grep
? Something similar to the --exclude
option in the normal grep
command?
I need to use git grep
because using grep
directly runs too slowly on large git repositories.
It's not possible, but has been discussed recently. Proposed workaround in link:
You can put
*.dll
to .gitignore file thengit grep --exclude-standard
.
EDIT see onlynone's answer, since git 1.9.0 it's possible.
