Regit

A tool to run changes on a git repository, as if it happened at the time.

Running and Building

This project uses PDM. After installing pdm you should be able to run the script by doing the following:

pdm run python -m regit --help

There are two modes:

Stream mode, every file is given to the process's stdin, and the stdout is used to replace the content of the file. sed is used as the tool.

pdm run python -m regit --mapping mapping.csv --pattern '*.md' sed 's/```console/```bash/'

Rewrite mode, every file is changed in-place, use '{}' to represent the file that needs to change:

pdm run python -m regit --mapping mapping.csv --pattern '*.py' -- sed -e 's/def/DEF/' -i '' {}

Notes

• https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit I can see that there is a --reuse-message=<commit> option in git which might be interesting.
