Commands and aliases

  • sd

history

Project history and usage

sd is a Rust command-line utility for straightforward regular-expression or literal find-and-replace operations on streams and files.

Project history

sd was created as an intuitive search-and-replace command and presents itself as a focused alternative to sed and awk for common substitutions. It uses familiar regular-expression syntax, supports literal-string matching, and separates search and replacement arguments.

Adoption history

sd is available across Homebrew, Cargo and numerous operating-system package ecosystems. The supplied package metadata also records packages for Alpine, Debian, MacPorts, Nix, Arch Linux, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Chocolatey, Scoop, WinGet, and Homebrew.

How it is used

Users pass separate find and replacement expressions and may process standard input or modify named files in place. Fixed-string, preview, and multiline modes cover common cases, while pipelines with tools such as fd enable project-wide edits.

Why package nerds care

sd belongs to the modern Rust CLI ecosystem that revisits classic Unix tools with focused behavior and friendlier defaults. Its appeal is deliberately narrower than sed: concise, predictable substitution rather than a complete stream-editing language.

Timeline

  • The project established sd as a focused Rust alternative to sed for common substitutions.
  • Later releases added generated manual pages and expanded documentation for in-place edits and replacement escaping.

Related projects

  • The documentation compares sd directly with sed and awk and demonstrates combining it with fd for recursive project-wide replacement.
