Desktopfreeglobal

A batch file search-and-replace tool that shows a diff of proposed changes before committing them, offering a terminal-based alternative to running sed without a preview. It helps developers and sysadmins preview and selectively apply replacements during large-scale renames or refactors, supports optional fzf selection and delta side-by-side diffs, and is distributed as open-source software under the MIT license.
