Hi there,

Seemingly at random, helm-git-grep-at-point stops working when the point is over a word and I want to grep for occurrences of that word. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it fails with "The mark is not set now, so there is no region". I can work around this by highlighting the word around the current point, but it tends to throw me off. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

This is a feature request.

After executing C-c g [keywords], I'd like to narrow the search result by file name or extension.

How about providing a command (bound C-c u for example) to switch the search-scope from files to grep-buffers?

C-c g [keywords] C-c u [filename] C-c u [keywords]

(I know I can save the grep result and search there, but doing it at once is far better!)

I'd like to exclude certain directories when searching.

Following is a example:

Could you tag your current version with a melpa-stable compatible tag (see version-to-list) so it can be included in MELPA stable?

Hi,

running helm-git-grep on Windows I have to kill Emacs in the task manager. Do you know what could be going on? I have a grep command in my Path.

Thanks

Sorry could not paste the backtrace here, it to large.

Could you please give me some clue about use the (helm-attr 'exclude-file-pattern) ??

It is unbearably slow..

http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/modernization_emacs_grep_inconsistency.html

This guy says, spawning process for each keystroke will be horribly slow on windows..

I sometimes log in to my localhost through another user, with tramp.
For instance, (find-file "/su:user2@:/home/user2/").
Then I go a a git repository inside that folder, and want to use helm-git-grep there.

Currently it doesn't work: it tries to run git grep with my main user, not with user2. It should do the su user2 first and run git grep as user2.

Tested in:

;; Package-Version: 20170614.1411

GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, cairo version 1.16.0, Xaw scroll bars) of 2022-10-28`

Hi. My helm-git-grep-autoloads.el fails with the following void-variable error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable helm-git-grep-with-exclude-file-pattern-obsolete-message)
  (make-obsolete (quote helm-git-grep-with-exclude-file-pattern) helm-git-grep-with-exclude-file-pattern-obsolete-message "0.10.0")
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*-779067> nil "***/.emacs.d/elpa/helm-git-grep-20161014.2248/helm-git-grep-autoloads.el" nil t)  ; Reading at buffer position 1386

Context: #4 (comment)

Let's say I'm running git grep to find an import.

"import Foo"

And it matches
path/to/file:123 import "a/b/c/Foo";

In helm, if I do C-c C-k, it saves the selection to my kill ring. If I paste the selection with yank, it pastes:
path/to/file:123 import "a/b/c/Foo";

But what I want to paste is:
import "a/b/c/Foo";

Is there a way to have a workflow in helm git grep to copy only the match? Even better, we could copy the match, then insert it at the cursor.

I am versioning my npm directories inside node_modules. I have added node_modules to the grep-find-ignored-directories list, and helm-do-grep correctly does not return results from that directory. Helm-git-grep does however return results from node_modules. I would be happy to try to add this feature if desired.

StackOverflowの質問から来ましたが、こちらも聞きたいです。helm-git-grepは別なhelm-git-grep-historyがありますけど、sourceで使用されません。どうしてですか。

I use helm-git-grep frequently, this functionality can save so many COPY and PASTE times.

Unfortunately emacs-helm/helm@6193cc4 doesn't really say why. Hopefully dropping support from your package isn't more involved than what that commit did to helm-grep.el.

Is there any option to do grep by specific file types? For example, if I want to search in html and js files, how can I do that? Appreciate any help.

I used to be able to save the grep buffer as hggrep
Then I could run compilation-next-error and emacs would go to the next file and open it in a buffer.

The workaround I have to do is run "compilation-mode" every time I save a hggrep buffer.

I looked at the .el file and it looks like helm-git-grep-mode is a compilation-mode:

(define-compilation-mode helm-git-grep-mode "Helm Git Grep"

So I'm confused at what I'm missing here.

I have boost in submodules and therefore searching for anything in the code base itself takes too much time.
Would be great to have a variable to turn off searching in submodules.

Do I understand correctly that git-grep finds expressions across all versions and commits within a git repo?
This is a feature I have been looking for. For instance, in a previous version of my document tracked by GIT I had a sentence I want to recover, not existing in muy current version. How would I go about finding it without having to revert to each previous commit? Is this the solution?

Hi, thank you for this great package.

I have found that when I select a file in helm-git-grep, it always opens a new buffer something like mouse1:.. mouse2:.. mouse3: ... instead of the selected file, when helm-allow-mouse is t.
I just found this because recently helm changed the default value of helm-allow-mouse to t.
So, helm-git-grep will work fine when helm-allow-mouse is set back to nil, but I believe fix is a necessary.
I hope this helps anyone who has had the same experience due to the recent helm update.

Thanks.

I'd like to exclude bower_components and node_modules when git-greping.

Is it possible that helm-grep-do-git-grep shows results in a minibuffer, below the current window, rather than in a new one or replace the current? Thanks!

When set (setq helm-follow-mode-persistent t), helm permit to use helm-follow-mode, as demonstrate by following gif.

thank you.

1. emacs -q to start emacs.
2. add load path
3. run (require 'helm-git-grep), will result idle.

before, I use 24.3, it work fine.

If I'm in one git project, for example with name "foo", save a helm grep buffer,
the default-directory is "path/to/foo"

But if I go to a different project: 'bar'.
Then the default directory is still "path/to/foo"

If I kill the buffer, and try again, it still remains.
This is annoying when using compilation-mode and trying to jump to the grep file since the directory is wrong.

Does anyone know if its possible to mark multiple files and open them with helm-git-grep?
