rep – perform find and replace on grep-formatted lines

rep is a command-line utility that takes grep-formatted lines via standard input, and performs a find-and-replace on them.

By default, it outputs a diff-preview of the changes to standard output, and with a flag it can write the changes to the files in place.

rep was inspired by wgrep for Emacs, which allows editing grep results in an Emacs buffer and then writing those changes to the source files. Much of the functionality, and the overall structure of the source code, was borrowed from sd. rep began as a fork of sd.

This is free and open source software.
