Question

I’m in ~/src. I can do git grep _pattern_ and get a list of all *.cpp or *.hpp files that match this pattern.

Now I would like to go through all the files that match the pattern and make edits on them. How do I do this in Vim? (Basically, I want Vim to go through my directory like git grep does, and jump me to the right files.)

You can use the single inverted commas (also a unix shell feature), something like:

vim `git grep --name-only <your expression>`
