I have grep.lineNumber=true in my ~/.gitconfig because I almost always want to show them. Sometimes though, I want to disable them for a single command without editing the config file. Is there an option I can pass to git grep that disables line numbers? There are of course a few ways around it (see below), but I'm curious to know if there is a built-in solution.
Some ways I've found to work around it:
- Pipe through another tool that removes the line numbers (depending on the situation e.g.
cut,awk,sed,grep, etc) - Use normal
grep(or any of its variants likeegrep), where I happen to not have this turned on by default
