Hi,
is there a way to colorize / highlight the pattern matched by
git log -E -i --grep=pattern
in the console output?
Regards,
Sebastian

I don't think so. The grep code _does_ know about colorizing matches
(which is why "git grep --color" works), but for the output code path
for commit messages doesn't use grep at all (it couldn't, because we're
not just showing the relevant lines but selecting the whole commit).
So I think it would have to be reimplemented separately.
The best workaround I could come up with is passing the output through a
highlighting script:
git log --grep=foo --color |
perl -pe 's/foo/\x1b[1;31m$&\x1b[m/' |
less
Pretty hacky.

Thanks anyway. I was also considering something like this, but
likewise found it to be too hacky.
