git grep only your views for a word

I've loved git grep for ever ever. Now? I can limit to just the app/views directory (or the current directory, whathaveyou).

The task: rename all buttons with "commit" to "save".

git grep 'commit' -- 'app/views/**/*'

git grep should be your goto command to search multiple files throughout your project. Super fast.

Wow, this really is faster than ack and is comparable to ag. (And far faster than grep, obviously.)
