Why would you want to use this tool to grep individual repos? If you know the repo you're interested in, you can just clone it and then grep it locally...?

- m3kw9 7y agoSo you don’t have to clone it and grep it locally
- big_chungus 7y agoSome things can take a while to clone. On the top end, repos like blink, webkit, and gecko can take half an hour or more.
- leni536 7y agoEven with --depth=1?
- tehlike 7y agoI like to grep a code pattern through out all repos. I use gstreamer, and sometimes i just don't know how to use it to do a specific thing. So i search substrings to find out usage patterns by other people.
