Description Brian Lee 2012-02-16 05:44:30 UTC

Add the following to the default bashrc or zshrc:

export GREP_OPTIONS="--color=auto"

This will have grep highlight matches in red (the default), a minor but useful enhancement to the default grep behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto' to your $HOME/.bashrc or $HOME/.zshrc
2.
3.

app-shells/bash : /etc/bash/bashrc:76:  alias grep='grep --colour=auto'

There you go - halfway there!

GREP_OPTIONS must not be used globally. I will be closing this one.
