Thanks for correcting my misunderstanding. By introducing `git grep` into this documentation, I have also made it co-dependent on your series. Instead, Elijah was probably purposeful in his use of "grep" over "git grep".

If we revert that part of my change to use `grep` instead of `git grep`, then is my statement correct?

Thanks, -Stolee
