# Grep, now in Rust

A Rust implementation of [GNU Grep](https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/).
This project is an initial release and may contain bugs.

## Install

```shell
cargo install uu_grep
```

## 🚀 Try it online

You can try `grep` directly in your browser on the [uutils playground](https://uutils.github.io/playground/).
Arguments (and a full command) can be passed through the URL via the `cmd` query parameter, for example:

```shell
printf '🚀 rocket\n🛰️ satellite\n🌙 moon\n⭐ star\n' | grep 🌙
```

[Run it in the playground](https://uutils.github.io/playground/?cmd=printf%20%27%F0%9F%9A%80%20rocket%5Cn%F0%9F%9B%B0%EF%B8%8F%20satellite%5Cn%F0%9F%8C%99%20moon%5Cn%E2%AD%90%20star%5Cn%27%20%7C%20grep%20%F0%9F%8C%99)
