@innocenzi/rename v1.5.0
Usage
In a directory, use rn to open your configured editor. Each line corresponds to a file:
- If you change a line, the corresponding file will be renamed accordingly.
- If you erase the line while keeping the line jump, the file will be deleted.
Note the following scenarios:
- If you completely delete a line, the operations will be canceled.
- If you rename multiple files with the exact same name, the last one will take over and the previous ones will be deleted.
- If you are deeply renaming paths and have renamed the a shared base directory, you need to update other related paths accordingly.
Options

Configuration
Your RENAME_EDITOR or EDITOR environment variable will be used to determine your editor of choice. If none of these are defined, Visual Studio Code will be used instead. If Code is not installed either, or if the configured editor can not be opened, the program will fail.
The following table is a reference from the Git documentation that can be used to set up your editor.
