DESCRIPTION

Instead of searching tracked files in the working tree, search
blobs registered in the index file.
--no-index::
Search files in the current directory that is not managed by Git.
--untracked::
In addition to searching in the tracked files in the working
tree, search also in untracked files.
--no-index::
Search files in the current directory that is not managed by Git,
or by ignoring that the current directory is managed by Git. This
is rather similar to running the regular `grep(1)` utility with its
`-r` option specified, but with some additional benefits, such as
using pathspec patterns to limit paths; see the 'pathspec' entry
in linkgit:gitglossary[7] for more information.

This option cannot be used together with `--cached` or `--untracked`.
See also `grep.fallbackToNoIndex` in 'CONFIGURATION' below.
--no-exclude-standard::
Also search in ignored files by not honoring the `.gitignore`
mechanism. Only useful with `--untracked`.

When grepping the object store (with `--cached` or giving tree objects), running
with multiple threads might perform slower than single threaded if `--textconv`
is given and there are too many text conversions. So if you experience low
performance in this case, it might be desirable to use `--threads=1`.
