Combing ripgrep with git blame output? How to prefilter matches through git blame?

[gcflymoto]

There is a way to do this with

git grep -n content  | perl -F':' -anpe '$_=`git blame -L$F[1],+1 $F[0]`'

and

rg -n content | perl -F':' -anpe '$_=`git blame -L$F[1],+1 $F[0]`'

as documented here

but we lose all the benefits of the excellent output rg provides when it is not piping.

If there was a way, it would probably be with some creative use of the --pre flag. But I'm not a Perl user and your command here looks pretty opaque to me. So this question isn't terribly accessible to me as written.

[gcflymoto]

To reduce the cost of running "git blame" on every file before matching which is costly, this double search method provides the desired output

rg --pre git-blame content `rg -l content`

@BurntSushi thanks for the advice

Very cool! Nice and simple. :)
