Anyone know how to use git to search?

Like for instance, anyone know commands to search throughout an entire source code for all mentions of python, or in my case python2.7

So I can find and make corrections.

In all files I might add within source code.

Are you talking about just grepping the current commit, or are you talking about finding *all* occurrences of something including historical occurrences that no longer exist in the current commit?

For the former, just a regular grep will do, maybe with -r if you want to recursively grep everything:

grep -r my_regex ./*

For the latter, `git grep` is your friend:

git grep my_regex $(git rev-list --all)

@quickfur I found one also recently, I am not sure if the 2nd you have works, but I found this:

git rev-list --all | xargs git grep -F python2.7

This one works for sure.

EDIT: your 2nd one also works.

The first one doesn't though last I tried it.
