Basically sad is a Batch File Edit tool.
It will show you a really nice diff of proposed changes before you commit them.
Unlike sed, you can double check before you fat finger your edit.
Selectively replace std -> joseph joestar in the sad repo.
You can pick and choose which changes to apply.
You can also choose the clustering factor for changes using --unified=<n>. (Same as in GNU diff)
If you have delta installed, try --pager 'delta -s' for side by side view
Replace all'"(\d+)"' -> '🌈$1🌈' in the chromium repo.
use --commit or -k to commit changes all at once.
-c is taken because sad has to trick fzf into thinking it's bash :)
with fzf
export GIT_PAGER='<highlighter-of-your-choice>' # ^ can be done in your bash/zsh/rc file. find "$FIND_ARGS" | sad '<pattern>' '<replacement>'
Note: --multi is passed to fzf so you can select multiple files with Shift+tab
without fzf
find "$FIND_ARGS" | sad '<pattern>' '<replacement>' | highlighter-of-your-choice
or
find "$FIND_ARGS" | sad '<pattern>' '<replacement>' --pager=<highlighter-of-your-choice>
or
export GIT_PAGER='<highlighter-of-your-choice>' find "$FIND_ARGS" | sad '<pattern>' '<replacement>'
gotta go fast
If you wanna go fast.
preview to verify you really want the changes.
run with --commit, and redirect stdout to a file or /dev/null
Technically none of these are "required", but they make sad so much happier.
If you install the things below, sad will automatically use them. It's progressive enhancement!
sad does not come with a UI, it uses fzf to perform selection.
Any git compatible colourizer would work. I prefer these two:
fd <files> | sad <pattern> <replacement> | delta
fd <files> | sad <pattern> <replacement> | diff-so-fancy | less
GIT_PAGER sad will use the same pager as git Name Function -f --flags Regex flags, see below -k --commit No preview, write changes to file -0 --read0 Use \x00 as stdin delimiter -e --exact String literal mode -p --pager Colourizing program, disable = never --fzf Additional Fzf options, disable = never -u --unified Same as in GNU diff, affects hunk size
By default, sad uses smartcase, and multiline matching.
For each options, lowercase toggles on and uppercase toggles off.
ie. i => on, I => off
i case insensitive (works for --exact mode as well) m multiline: ^ $ match each line s allow . match \n u swap the meaning of * and *? patterns, (normally * is lazy and *? is greedy) x ignore whitespace and allow # comments
For scripting, use the following format:
# replace `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.deb` with your desired package wget 'https://github.com/ms-jpq/sad/releases/latest/download/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.deb'
coming soon...
You can download sad deb packages from the github release page.
There is an official Arch Linux package that can be installed via pacman:

To compile sad yourself you'll have to make sure you have Rust and cargo installed.
To install cargo from source you can run the following commands:
cargo install --locked --all-features \ --git https://github.com/ms-jpq/sad --branch senpai
If you want to install it in a specific directory you can provide the --root flag, like so:
cargo install --locked --all-features --root="/usr/bin/" \ --git https://github.com/ms-jpq/sad --branch senpaiWhat about stdin -> stdout
If you just want to edit the shell stream, I would recommend sd, it uses the same concept, but its more for in stream edits. sad was inspired by my initial usage of sd.
command1 | sd '<pattern>' '<replacement>' | command2
ripgrep with --replace also works
command1 | rg --passthru --replace '<replacement>' -- '<pattern>' | command2
Take note however, rg will exit 1, it it finds no matches.
Special thanks to MadeOfMagicAndWires for their generous contribution for maintaining the AUR package.
