    git rsif

Usage

git rsif 'REPLACE-FROM' 'REPLACE-WITH'

Background

If you use the progamming language pike,
replace-string-in-file, or pike -x rsif REPLACE-FROM REPLACE-WITH <list-of-files>
might be a commonly used tool in your shell arsenal.

It just occurred to me I want a "git rsif"
that does this cross-git-repository,
for all text files with a literal match of "REPLACE-FROM".

Thus my ~/bin/git-rsif utility was born.

Prerequisites

You need a pike binary in your path.
A quick way of getting one on osx + homebrew is
brew install pike.

  

  

## git-rsif
#! /bin/sh

git grep --text -lzF "$1" | xargs -0 -- pike -x rsif "$1" "$2" "{}"
