It occupies the space between regex-based text replacement and full language-specific refactoring engines. ### 项目历史 Comby's documentation presents the core idea as lightweight matching of syntactic structures such as balanced delimiters, strings, and comments across many languages. The README frames it as a practical alternative when regular expressions become fragile for nested code constructs. ### 采用历史 The official README documents Homebrew installation on macOS, binaries for Ubuntu-like Linux systems, Docker images, Windows use through WSL, and source builds through OCaml/opam. The supplied package-manager metadata lists Homebrew and Nix, while the upstream distribution story emphasizes prebuilt binaries and containers. ### 使用方式 Users write templates with holes such as `:[condition]` to match code structures and replacements that preserve or transform matched parts. Comby is commonly used for large mechanical code changes, interactive review of rewrites, and language-aware searches where plain `sed` or regexes are too coarse. ### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心 Comby matters to package nerds because it packages a source-to-source transformation engine as a single CLI spanning many languages. Its OCaml implementation, PCRE linkage, binary distribution, Docker image, and Homebrew/Nix formulas make it a useful case study in shipping a specialized developer tool beyond one language ecosystem. ### 时间线 - 2019: Public Comby materials and README examples emphasized structural matching compared with regex approaches. - 2020: The Comby website and documentation moved into a refreshed Docusaurus site. - 2022: Comby blog posts documented experiments with type information for safer rewrites. ### Related projects - Comby is related to `sed`, regular-expression search tools, language-server and code-intelligence workflows, Sourcegraph-style code search, and language-specific refactoring engines. ### 来源 - - - - ## 安全说明 narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger 风险:** 绿色 / 低 - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## 源数据库详情 - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** comby - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 1 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** yes - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## 其他软件包管理器记录 - Nix - comby: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: comby from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/master/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix ## 相关链接 - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [pcre](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/pcre/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [autoconf](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/autoconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [opam](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/opam/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [srgn](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/srgn/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, code-transformation, developer-tools, refactoring. - [ripgrep](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/ripgrep/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, search. - [ast-grep](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/ast-grep/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, code-search, developer-tools, multi-language. - [sk](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/sk/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, search. - [ripgrep-all](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/ripgrep-all/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, search. - [ddgr](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/ddgr/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, search. - [krep](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/krep/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, search. - [sift](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/sift/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, search. - [cgrep](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/cgrep/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
