+==== Ignoring merge commits with "--no-merges" ====
+In many cases, merge commits are of no interest since they simply merge commits that produce actual change.

+===== Searching with "git grep" =====
+==== DESCRIPTION ====
+<code>
+Look for specified patterns in the tracked files in the work
+tree, blobs registered in the index file, or blobs in given
+tree objects. Patterns are lists of one or more search
+expressions separated by newline characters. An empty string as
+search expression matches all lines.
