Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : vgrep Version : 2.6.0 Upstream Author : Valentin Rothberg <valentinrothb...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/vrothberg/vgrep * License : GPL-3.0 Programming Lang: Go Description : a user-friendly pager for grep
vgrep is a pager for grep, git-grep, ripgrep and similar grep implementations, and allows for opening the indexed file locations in a user-specified editor such as vim or emacs. vgrep is inspired by the ancient cgvg scripts but extended to perform further operations such as listing statistics of files and directory trees or showing the context lines before and after the matches. For example, consider answering the following questions: - why is this package useful/relevant? is it a dependency for another package? do you use it? if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it compare? vgrep allows quick grepping through a source tree and opening the matching files at the correct line in your editor of choice. Great for refactoring code. Packages for other distributions already exist (and can be converted using alien), but a native package in Debian would be great.
