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?
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>
