pipe-rename

pipe-rename takes a list of files as input, opens your \$EDITOR of choice, then renames those files accordingly.

Installation

cargo install pipe-rename

This will install the renamer binary.

Usage

Usage is simple, just pipe a list of files into renamer. This will open your \$EDITOR (or vim, if not set), and once your editor exits it will detect which files were renamed:

bash ls | renamer

You can also supply filenames as positional arguments. To rename txt files in the current directory:

bash renamer *.txt

The default behavior is to rename files, but you can override this. If you want to run git mv old new on each rename, you can do something like this:

bash ls | renamer --rename-command "git mv"
