Subject: git-grepall.sh: Add a script for grepping all local branches
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2a4e1419a2543901495f8720590c3c5d2d612e1b;p=blog.git

git-grepall.sh: Add a script for grepping all local branches

Sometimes I have a lot of branches (e.g. per-assignment branches for a
single class, to support sharing work between assignments), and I
forget which feature is in which branch.  Now I can run:

  $ git-grepall.sh PATTERN

to search all the local branches.
