I like the unix find command but I always find it too 'fiddly' to use when I want to search through my project looking for a piece of text in any file in any directory or subdirectory.
Is there an easier way to do this?

directory-tree find grep search git

Grep is simplest approach.

grep -r 'text to find' .
