# Grep
Delta applies syntax-highlighting and other enhancements to standard grep output such as from [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/) (aka `rg`), `git grep`, grep, etc.
If you don't need special features of `git grep`, then for best results pipe `rg --json` output to delta: this avoids parsing ambiguities that are inevitable with the output of `git grep` and `grep`.
To customize the colors and syntax highlighting, see `grep-match-line-style`, `grep-match-word-style`, `grep-context-line-style`, `grep-file-style`, `grep-line-number-style`.
Note that `git grep` can display the "function context" for matches and that delta handles this output specially: see the `-p` and `-W` options of `git grep`.
