amber, a code search & replace tool

• ast-grep

  40 6,313 9.9 Rust

  ⚡A CLI tool for code structural search, lint and rewriting. Written in Rust

  

ast-grep is based on tree-sitter parsers and most of the time is spent on parsing.

There is some optimization to [skip parsing](https://github.com/ast-grep/ast-grep/blob/9f8ed5fb2abf35d928...) but generally I don't expect ast-grep can beat ripgrep or amber. (but sometimes ast-grep can beat grep due to parallel processing)

• amber

  4 812 8.4 Rust

  A code search / replace tool (by dalance)

• ripgrep

  352 45,783 9.2 Rust

  ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

• goreplace

  1 178 - Go

  command line tool for search and replace

I used to use https://comby.dev/ but I kept having issues where it wouldn't accept my input or it'd error during processing. It was very flakey. So I've resorted to using https://github.com/piranha/goreplace as backup which is much simpler but reliable.

I'll check this one out...

• sd

  32 5,482 7.5 Rust

  Intuitive find & replace CLI (sed alternative)

Feels similar to `sd` (https://github.com/chmln/sd)

which in my mind was the first “replace” version of ripgrep

grep -> ripgrep

• srgn

  6 412 9.4 Rust

  A code surgeon for precise text and code transplantation. A marriage of `tr`/`sed`, `rg` and `tree-sitter`.

The tool you are describing is what I am trying to build at https://github.com/alexpovel/srgn . The idea is a compromise between regex (think ripgrep) and grammar awareness (through tree-sitter).

• agr

  2 1 2.7 Python

  ag + sed

this is cool! i do the same thing[1], wanted ag/rg to be able to search and replace.

• gritql

  5 2,668 9.5 Rust

  GritQL is a query language for searching, linting, and modifying code.

  

Yeah it doesn't look like this is AST-aware at all.

If you want to do queries that understand the grammar, https://github.com/getgrit/gritql is closer to what you're looking for.

Ex. here's how you would search for your example of looking for a string unless it's inside a string constant. [0]

grit apply '"this_string" => `new_string` where { $match <: not within string() }'
