`bulkrename` is a tool for renaming large numbers of files.

`bulkrename` accepts file paths either via command line arguments or via

standard input. When invoked, `bulkrename` opens a file in `EDITOR` with the

input paths. After user exits `EDITOR`, `bulkrename` will rename all the input

files using the file names from the file as their new names.

If you are familiar with the `bulkrename` command of the

[Ranger](https://github.com/ranger/ranger) file manager, this program works

basically the same way.

Pre-built binaries can be downloaded from [GitHub

Releases](https://github.com/Soft/bulkrename/releases). These should work on any

Alternatively, `bulkrename` can be installed using

[Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/):

``` shell
