A little cli-tool, built in c++, that does a lot of the functions of normal grep.

🛠️ Installation

Clone the repo and run CMake:

git clone https://github.com/vilebile17/grep_plus_plus
cd grep_plus_plus
cmake -B build
cmake --build build

And after that, your executable file will be ready at ./build/grep++. You can move to the root directory and run it with:

mv ./build/grep++ .
./grep++ -h
