Scooter is an interactive find-and-replace terminal UI application written in Rust. It recursively searches files (respecting .gitignore) or stdin using fixed strings or regexes, letting users toggle which matches to replace.

Use cases

• interactively find and replace text across a codebase from the terminal
• bulk rename or refactor strings in files with regex capture groups
• search and replace text piped from stdin
• review each match before replacing it
• open matched files at the relevant line in my editor

When to choose

• you want an interactive, review-each-match alternative to sed or perl one-liners
• you need regex find-and-replace with capture groups across a git repository
• you want a fast terminal TUI tool that respects .gitignore

When to avoid

• you need fully automated, non-interactive bulk replacement in scripts
• you need IDE-style project-wide refactoring with language-aware renaming
• you need multiline search by default without extra flags
