  Description     : a user-friendly pager for grep

vgrep is a pager for grep, git-grep, ripgrep and similar grep
implementations, and allows for opening the indexed file locations in a
user-specified editor such as vim or emacs. vgrep is inspired by the
ancient cgvg scripts but extended to perform further operations such as
listing statistics of files and directory trees or showing the context
lines before and after the matches.

For example, consider answering the following questions:
 - why is this package useful/relevant? is it a dependency for
   another package? do you use it? if there are other packages
   providing similar functionality, how does it compare?

vgrep allows quick grepping through a source tree and opening the
matching files at the correct line in your editor of choice. Great for
refactoring code.

Packages for other distributions already exist (and can be converted
using alien), but a native package in Debian would be great.
