GUI user here. Genuine question: when would you need to pipe stuff through grep? I get it would be a rare situation, but I can't think of one.

We have a naming convention that feature branches are named "feature-[descriptionOfFeature]" here and I wanted to bulk-delete all the merged feature branches that developers had left dangling, without killing the release branches and the like. Grepping helped there.

Like I said, super-rare situation.
