Grep - delta

# 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 the `grep-*` options in `delta --help`.

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`.

    rg --json -C 2 handle | delta

With `hyperlinks` enabled, the line numbers in the grep output will be clickable links. See hyperlinks.
