The git grep --recurse-submodules ${search_string} command is used to search for a specified string or pattern across the contents of a Git repository, including its submodules.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
git grep: This is the main command to search within a Git repository.--recurse-submodules: This option tells git grep to also search within the submodules of the repository.${search_string}: This is the string or pattern that you want to search for within the repository.
By running this command, Git will search for the specified ${search_string} within the entire content of the repository, including the contents of any submodules. It will return a list of files and lines matching the search pattern, along with the respective line numbers.
