[SOLVED] Find Path to Files containing specific word - How can I know which file in a directory contain the specific word that I want?

Issue

I manage to find the word that I desire with the following command in a github repository

git log --all -p | grep 'abc'

abc is a word located in a specific file.

My question is how can I find the file path to the string that I desire? How can I know which file contain the word that I want which is abc ?

For example, doing the above command would get me

(this.b(),this.abc);

but I would like to know which exact folder and which exact file is this piece of string/code coming from.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Solution

git grep -l 'abc'

Option -l list file names where the pattern is found in the current (HEAD) commit.
