Hello,
it seems that git grep doesn't do word boundaries as described:
$ cat bar foo bar baz $ grep "\<bar\>" * foo bar baz $ git grep "\<bar\>" * $ git grep -w "\<bar\>" * $ git grep -w "bar" * bar:foo bar baz $ git grep -E "\<bar\>" * $ git grep -E "\bbar\b" * $
thanks, Thomas

It works here. Did you add the file? $ grep "\<bar\>" * foo bar baz $ git grep "\<bar\>" bar:foo bar baz $ git grep "\<bar\>" * bar:foo bar baz $ git grep \\bbar\\b bar:foo bar baz $ git grep \\bbar\\b * bar:foo bar baz
