Grepping your routes.rb
file, for decent size projects, can take a long time. One solution to speed up this process is to create a local copy of the current state of your routes.rb
file, and grep that file as needed.
This way the new local_routes
file will not continuously be an untracked file in your project's git status
.
That created a file called local_routes
; however, you can use any name here.
For example, in order to grep the file for user_attendance_edits
, call:
This file will not automatically remain in step with your routes. You'll want to do that manually, as needed. To update the new routes
file, again call:
Note that >
both creates a new file, as well as replaces the content of the existing one.
