scooter is an interactive find-and-replace terminal UI app

scooter is an interactive find-and-replace terminal UI app.

You can search with either a fixed string or a regular expression, enter a replacement, and interactively toggle which instances you want to replace.

If the instance you’re attempting to replace has changed since the search was performed, e.g. if you’ve switched branches and that line no longer exists, that particular replacement won’t occur: you’ll see all such cases at the end.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Respects both .gitignore and .ignore files.
• Add capture groups to the search regex and use them in the replacement string: for instance, if you use (\d) – (\w+) for the search text and ($2) “$1” as the replacement, then 9 – foo would be replaced with (foo) “9”.
• When viewing search results, you can open the selected file at the relevant line by pressing o. This will use the editor defined by your EDITOR environment variable. Scooter will automatically attempt to open the editor at the correct line number, but if you’d like to override the command used then you can set editor_open in your config file.
• Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
