A simple script that uses 'git ls-files' and xargs to search and replace all the specified files. --- Not meant for inclusion, just a simple script I wrote up when I wanted to change a function name in my repository but didn't want to figure out which magic argument to find does what I want. Another advantage of using git ls-files is that it will prevent that any unrevertable changes will be made (since the script checks if the tree is dirty or not). I'm sure there's plenty of room for improvement here, it's probably not portable at all either, so comments are welcome :). .gitignore | 1 + Makefile | 1 + git-sar.sh | 61 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 63 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100755 git-sar.sh
