GNU grep is not part of coreutils. To install, run

brew install grep

As with coreutils, this doesn't automatically replace the existing grep

==> Caveats
The command has been installed with the prefix "g".
If you do not want the prefix, install using the "with-default-names" option.

All commands have been installed with the prefix "g".
If you need to use these commands with their normal names, you
can add a "gnubin" directory to your PATH from your bashrc like:
  PATH="/usr/local/opt/grep/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

So after installing you can either use ggrep, gegrep and gfgrep; or extend PATH as shown above to use grep etc. The second option may confuse some macOS specific scripts though in case the options differ.
