# serpl Plugin
Terminal UI for search and replace across files, powered by ripgrep. A TUI alternative to VS Code's find-and-replace with per-match preview before applying changes.
## Prerequisites
Requires [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) (`rg`) installed and on PATH.
## Installation
```bash
cargo install serpl
```
Download binaries from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/yassinebridi/serpl/releases).
## Basic Usage
```bash
# Launch interactive search/replace in current directory
serpl
# Limit to a path or glob
serpl ./src
```
## Features
- Regex, case-sensitive, and whole-word matching
- Per-match preview before replace
- Ripgrep-speed file scanning
- Interactive confirmation for each replacement
## Usage Examples
- "Find and replace this function name across the repo"
- "Rename this import in all TypeScript files"
- "Search for a regex pattern and preview matches before replacing"
## SuperCLI
```bash
sc serpl _ _
sc plugins learn serpl
```
