In what way can one locate specific text in all files within particular git tags or branches?

edit

One way to locate specific text in all files within particular git tags or branches is to use the command line tool called "grep".

First, switch to the branch or tag that you want to search within using the command:

git checkout <branch or tag name>

Then, use the command:

git grep <search term>

This will search for the specified text in all files within the current branch or tag.

You can also use additional options with the git grep command, such as:

• -i to ignore case sensitivity
• --recurse-submodules to search within submodules
• --no-color to remove color highlighting in the output

For example, if you want to search for the text "example" within all files in the v1.0.0 tag, you would run:

git checkout v1.0.0
git grep example

This will display a list of all the files that contain the specified text, along with the line number and the actual line(s) of text.
