I do things like that inside Emacs with the consult-grep command from the Consult package, combined with the Orderless matching style, Embark to collect the results in a buffer. This has several advantages over the command line:
- Interactivity: the results are updated live as you type, so you catch typos sooner and can tweak the search terms as you go.
- The buffer of search results you collect with Embark is not dead text like it would be in the terminal, instead, each line is a link to the corresponding file taking you to the line that matched.
- Wgrep lets you edit all the matching lines in place!
