Grep
Delta applies syntax-highlighting and other enhancements to standard grep output such as from ripgrep (aka rg
), git grep
, grep, etc.
If you don't need special features of git grep
, then for best results pipe rg --json
output to delta: this avoids parsing ambiguities that are inevitable with the output of git grep
and grep
.
To customize the colors and syntax highlighting, see grep-match-line-style
, grep-match-word-style
, grep-context-line-style
, grep-file-style
, grep-line-number-style
.
Note that git grep
can display the "function context" for matches and that delta handles this output specially: see the -p
and -W
options of git grep
.
