hgrep – grep with human-friendly search output

hgrep is a grep tool to search files with a given pattern and print the matched code snippets with human-friendly syntax highlighting. This tool brings search results like the code search on GitHub to your local machine. In short, it’s something like searching files with ripgrep and showing results with bat.

hgrep eats an output of `grep -nH` and prints the matches with syntax-highlighted code snippets.

$ grep -nH pattern -R . | hgrep

hgrep has its builtin subset of ripgrep, whose search output and performance are better than reading the output from `grep -nH`.
