git - How to find text in the working tree's changed lines?

Question

I have some modified files in my repo's working tree, and I want to search for some text in the changed lines of these files. I can only find how to search in the previous commits using git grep.

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You can do this by using git diff and then pipe it to grep:

git diff --unified=0 | grep --ignore-case "text"

Setting --unified=0 makes sure that only the changed lines are returned, without their context.
