While editing a massive codebase, massive like a monorepo with 247 sub projects...
I need to find every file containing a certain pattern.
Webstorm is, once again, indexing... It will finish in 15 minutes....
Let's use a good'ole grep
command.
grep --exclude-dir={node_modules,dist,build} -rnw $(pwd) -e 'my secret pattern'
It will print every absolute file path followed by the line number inside the file and the line containing the pattern.
Have fun!
