Proposal: remv

dertuxmalwieder opened this issue · 2 comments

dertuxmalwieder/remv is an alternative to mv that does recursive renaming with regular expressions (remv = regex move) and a preview mode.

This is standard Unix belt:
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/rename.1.html

Are there any features in renv you cannot do with rename?

From the man page:

The rename command is part of the util-linux package

So:

  • It is preferably a Linux application. Yet, this repository is “modern Unix”, not “modern Linux”.
  • It would require a whole suite of applications and libraries, not only one executable.
