## What it is
F2 is a cross-platform command-line tool for batch renaming files and directories quickly and safely, written in Go. It supports dry runs by default, EXIF/ID3 variable substitution, regex transformations, conflict detection and resolution, and undoing operations.

## Use cases
- bulk rename thousands of photos using EXIF data
- rename mp3 files based on ID3 tags
- find and replace text in filenames with regex
- add prefixes or suffixes to many files at once
- change file name casing across a directory
- preview renaming changes before applying them
- undo a bad batch rename operation

## When to choose
- you need fast, safe bulk renaming from the terminal
- you want metadata-driven names from EXIF or ID3 tags
- you need conflict detection and undo for renames
- you work across Linux, macOS, and Windows

## When to avoid
- you prefer a GUI renaming tool
- you only need to rename a single file occasionally
- you need deep media file organization beyond renaming

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, file-system, developer-tools
- domain: files, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli, cross-platform
- tags: batch-rename, file-renaming, exif, id3, dry-run, undo, regex, go, command-line, automation, linux, macos
