Grep Rails Routes

This week I found a treasure inside the Hashrocket Dotmatrix; behold:

# .zshrc
alias groutes='rake routes | grep $@'

This aliases rake routes | grep [foo], which I frequently use to search through big Rails routes files.

It looks like the Rails core team is responding to this pattern in Rails 5:

In the meantime, patch it yourself and reap the benefits.
