amber, a code search & replace tool

• ast-grep

  46 7,299 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

  4 853 8.4 Rust

  A code search / replace tool (by dalance)

• ripgrep

  359 47,953 9.0 Rust

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

• goreplace

  1 184 - 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

  34 5,825 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

  7 614 9.6 Rust

  A grep-like tool which understands source code syntax and allows for manipulation in addition to search

  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

  6 3,022 9.6 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() }'
