Coloring grep output to easier research in your Linux terminal
In the past I’ve posted an article regarding the basic usage of grep, one of the commands that I use daily at work to search a text within multiple files, or a text string in the list of running process of a Linux server, but I’ve forgot to show you a small and useful option : How to colour the output that you get from grep to highlight the text you were searching for in a long line. This is a small option of this powerful command but can save your eyes when searching for a particular property of a Java process that is 4 or 5 lines long.
