Flags

Name	Description	Default Value
`-display`	Limit the number of results that are displayed. Only supported together with stream flag. Statistics continue to report all results.	`-1`
`-dump-requests`	Log GraphQL requests and responses to stdout	`false`
`-explain-json`	Explain the JSON output schema and exit.	`false`
`-get-curl`	Print the curl command for executing this query and exit (WARNING: includes printing your access token!)	`false`

`-json`	Whether or not to output results as JSON.	`false`
`-less`	Pipe output to 'less -R' (only if stdout is terminal, and not json flag).	`true`
`-stream`	Consume results as stream. Streaming search only supports a subset of flags and parameters: trace, insecure-skip-verify, display, json.	`false`
`-trace`	Log the trace ID for requests. See docs	`false`

Examples:

  Perform a search and get results:

    	$ src search 'repogroup:sample error'

  Perform a search and get results as JSON:

    	$ src search -json 'repogroup:sample error'

Other tips:

  Make 'type:diff' searches have colored diffs by installing https://colordiff.org
    - Ubuntu/Debian: $ sudo apt-get install colordiff
    - Mac OS:        $ brew install colordiff
    - Windows:       $ npm install -g colordiff

  Disable color output by setting NO_COLOR=t (see https://no-color.org).

  Force color output on (not on by default when piped to other programs) by setting COLOR=t

  Query syntax: https://sourcegraph.com/docs/code_search/reference/queries

  Be careful with search strings including negation: a search with an initial
  negated term may be parsed as a flag rather than as a search string. You can
  use -- to ensure that src parses this correctly, eg:

    	$ src search -- '-repo:github.com/foo/bar error'
