Find an instance of a string in git core with git grep '
I found a minor issue in git
(poor spanish translation) and reported it to the vita git mailing list .
I was told by the developer that it would be great if I could: clone the git repo , find files containing the bad translation with help git grep
, fix it, and commit.
The fact is that with the help git grep
I do not find files where there may be a bad translation.
This is exactly the bad translation:
Su rama está delante de <<origin/master<< para 6 commits.
and he must say:
Su rama está delante de <<origin/master<< por 6 commits.
(i.e. para
should be por
).
To find a suggestion, I've tried:
git grep 'delante'
git grep 'delante' -- '*.[ch]'
as shown in the git-grep examples , but both commands return empty.
What am I doing wrong? I am using git version 1.9.1
BTW.

Apparently the problem was that the proposal is not in git
, but rather in its Spanish translation of Ubuntu: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/git/+pots/git/es/+ filter? person = franciscomol
I offered fixed translation there.
