Instead of showing every matched line, you can use the `-l` flag to **show only the file names** that contain the pattern.

MD013 - Line length

Tags: line_length

Aliases: line-length Parameters: linelength, codeblocks, tables (number; default 80, boolean; default true)

This rule is triggered when there are lines that are longer than the configured line length (default: 80 characters). To fix this, split the line up into multiple lines.

This rule has an exception where there is no whitespace beyond the configured line length. This allows you to still include items such as long URLs without being forced to break them in the middle.

You also have the option to exclude this rule for code blocks and tables. To do this, set the code_blocks and/or tables parameters to false.

Code blocks are included in this rule by default since it is often a requirement for document readability, and tentatively compatible with code rules. Still, some languages do not lend themselves to short lines.

If you've spent any time in the command line, I'm sure you're familiar with the `grep` command. It's a powerful tool that allows you to search for patterns in files. But did you know that Git has its own version of `grep` that, in addition to all the features of `grep`, also allows you to **search across your entire repository**, its history and even in specific branches or commits?

Using `git grep <pattern>` you can search for files in your repository that match a specific pattern. **Regular expressions** are supported, so you can use all the power of regex to find exactly what you're looking for.

By default, `git grep` will return all files that match the pattern. If you want to limit the results, there are various ways to do so.

Similarly, you can use `git grep <pattern> -- <pathspec>` to search only in a **specific directory**. You can also use `:^` to **exclude** files from a specific directory.
