Hi there,

Can I change the grep command called by git with alternative tools, such as ug [1]?

Say in the following command:

$ git grep -i jobflow

I tried to replace grep with ug, but failed as follows:

$ git ug -i jobflow git: 'ug' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
    gui
