Grepping through repo directories (aka the ".svn/" problem)
It's super annoying when you're looking for a string in your code, so you do a recursive grep, only to get a ton of matches within svn's ".svn" directories.
Here's a solution:
Inside your ~/.bash_profile, insert this line:
- alias rgrep="find . -follow \( -name ".svn" \) -prune -o -print | xargs grep -Hn"
Save it, then log out and back in. Now instead of
- grep -ir "sprintf" *
do
- rgrep sprintf
Cake!
