How to always append parameters for a Ggrep command?

Question

I'm using the Fugitive plugin. It has the :Ggrep command which is very useful for searching the repo.

One annoying thing is that I have huge .map files and I want to omit them from my search. I cannot modify the .gitignore and other files, I can only modify what's related to vim.

I'm using this:

:Ggrep foobar -- './*' ':(exclude)*.map'

How can I tell vim to always append -- './*' ':(exclude)*.map' and just write:

:Ggrep foobar

every time I'm searching for foobar?

Answer 1

While I don't think it's possible out of the box, you can work your way around this:

command! -nargs=1 GGrep Ggrep <q-args> -- './*' ':(exclude)*.map'

Then use the GGrep command instead of Ggrep:

:GGrep foobar

See:

• :h command
• :h nargs
• :h <q-args>
