Description

Show N lines before and/or after each match. Essential for inspecting logs or code around matches.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current grep output logic and implement context line support using command line flags ( C, A, B). Parse these flags with a Rust argument parsing library like clap, then modify the output to include the specified number of lines before and/or after each match.
