So, I start at the top of the dir, I skip a few of the child dirs, and
I want to find files containing "repos" and "github".
The above cmd returns the err
xargs: argument line too long
For debugging, you can add "-t" or "--verbose" to the xargs command to
print out each command it's trying to do. Also, you should check the
output of each step and pipe it to less to see what's coming out.
Remove the 0 options so it's readable.
One obvious problem is that you're piping the output of grep, which will
be matching text, as filenames to another grep.
