```sh

npm install --global replace-in-files-cli

```

## Usage

```

$ replace-in-files --help

  Usage

    $ replace-in-files 

  Options

    --regex           Regex pattern to find  (Can be set multiple times)

    --string          String to find  (Can be set multiple times)

    --replacement     Replacement string  (Required)

    --ignore-case     Search case-insensitively

    --no-glob         Disable globbing

  Examples

    $ replace-in-files --string='horse' --regex='unicorn|rainbow' --replacement='🦄' foo.md

  You can use the same replacement patterns as with `String#replace()`, like `$&`.

```

Real-world use-case: [Bumping version number in a file when publishing to npm](https://github.com/sindresorhus/modern-normalize/commit/c1d65e3f7daba2b695ccf837d2aef19d586d1ca6)

The regex should be [JavaScript flavor](https://www.regular-expressions.info/javascript.html).
