Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Search with a fixed string or regex to find and replace across files. Interactive UI to trigger the replace. Follows .gitignore and ignores hidden files by default. Colorized UI. Available via Cargo, Homebrew, Nix and downloadable binaries.

Matching is basic - doesn’t support negative lookahead or multi-line replacements.
