1. thats a moot point because it doesn't explain why other people might want to use it. 2. $ alias grep="grep --color" 3. it would be even easier to extend grep via pipes. Plus pipes are langauge agnostic where as extending this tool requires knowledge of Python As a personal project, this is fine. But I really don't see the point in anyone else using it when it's slower than existing tools, no more user friendly, requires more dependancies, and isn't part of the default install like grep and find (Windows CLI) are. Plus this tool doesn't even support all instances where a TODO might appear (https://github.com/pgilad/leasot#comment-format) nor all programming languages (https://github.com/pgilad/leasot#supported-languages) like grep and find do.
