searching ruby source code

contributing to open source? need to search & understand ruby code faster? This bash function should save you some time. I use it atleast 50-60 times a day.

Stick this in your .bashrc:

function rgrep() {
   find -L . -type f -name \*.rb -exec grep -n -i -H --color "$1" {} \;
}

Use like: $ rgrep “something”
