Use grep to search for some particular text inside files and folders recursively.
$ grep -rnw '/path' -e 'search term'
# Backticks to use pwd /src as the search target
$ grep -rnw `pwd`/src -e 'search term'
# As above but with exclude of a dir
$ grep -rnw --exclude-dir=node_modules -e 'search term' `pwd`
# As above but with multiple excluded dirs
$ grep -rnw --exclude-dir={node_modules,build} -e 'search term' `pwd`Code language: PHP (php)- -r is recursive,
- -n is line number
- -w is to match the whole word
Note: the path is not relative to your current directory, so you may wish to use ‘pwd’ to display your current directory path and copy paste this in as the path.
