Yes. It takes literally seconds, and is a single command on basically every platform.

If you're afraid of that - are you realistically going to be running a cli interactive find and replace?

If you want to package up an EXE for your specific system and host it somewhere - the license is MIT, go right ahead...

Also see the excellent https://github.com/your-tools/ruplacer.

For more advanced needs, I have a custom thing called greprep that let's you make changes using your favorite editor. Workflow is like this:

  1. $ rg -n .... > /tmp/lines.txt
  2. (edit lines.txt in vscode)
  3. $ greprep /tmp/lines.txt to apply the changes

Can you please not post shallow dismissals of other people's work? This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

It's important, when people share something they've made on HN, that they don't run into this sort of bilious internet putdown.

Edit - these are other examples of the same thing (i.e. the thing we don't want in HN threads, and which we'd appreciate if you'd not do any more of):
