  "github_readme_excerpt": "hgrep: Human-friendly GREP\n==========================\n[![CI][ci-badge]][ci]\n[![crate][crates-io-badge]][crates-io]\n[![Coverage][codecov-badge]][codecov]\n\n[hgrep][] is a grep tool to search files with a given pattern and print the matched code snippets with human-friendly syntax\nhighlighting. This tool brings search results like the code search on GitHub to your local machine. In short, it\u0027s something like\nsearching files with [ripgrep][] and showing results with [bat][].\n\nThis is similar to `-C` option of `grep` command. hgrep is useful to survey the matches with contexts around them. When some\nmatches are near enough, hgrep prints the lines within one code snippet. Unlike `grep -C`, hgrep adopts some heuristics around\nblank lines to determine an efficient number of context lines.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/rhysd/ss/raw/master/hgrep/main.png\" alt=\"screenshot\" width=\"682\" /\u003e\n\nExample:\n\n```sh\n# Use built-in subset of ripgrep (optional)\nhgrep pattern ./dir\n\n# Read results of grep command via stdin\ngrep -nH pattern -R ./dir | hgrep\nrg -nH pattern ./dir | hgrep\n```\n\nhgrep provides two printers to print match results for your use case. Please see [\u0027`bat` printer v.s. `syntect` printer\u0027][bat-vs-syntect]\nsection for the comparison.\n\n- `syntect` printer (default): Our own implementation of printer using [syntect][] library. Performance, output layout, and color\n  themes are more optimized\n- `bat` printer: Printer built on top of [bat][]\u0027s pretty printer implementation, which is battle-tested and provides some unique\n  features\n\nPlease see [the usage section](#usage) for more details.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Binary releases\n\nVisit [the releases page][releases] and download the zip file for your platform. Unarchive the file and put the executable file\nin some `$PATH` directory. Currently, the following targets are supported. If you want a binary for some other platform, feel free\nto make an issue to request it.\n\n- Linux (x86_64-gnu, x86_64-musl, aarch64-gnu)\n- macOS (x86_64, ",
