There's a traditional semi-standard utility called `rpl` for making this easy.
Unfortunately the current maintainer of the active fork decided to remove the `-R` option because they think piping find(1) output into it is better.
There's some discussion at https://github.com/rrthomas/rpl/issues/9 .

for proper context you'd have to look at the repo has it was when the tweets went out
https://github.com/harthur/replace/tree/431b1e183a4bd43046af...
but it doesn't matter as those tweets are trash, specially coming from other OSS devs
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rpl and replace you can also consider the following projects:
ripgrep - ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore
pickdrop - A unix shell script which allows you to "pick" files one at a time and then drop them in one place
the_silver_searcher - A code-searching tool similar to ack, but faster.
sd - Intuitive find & replace CLI (sed alternative)
