git | Rename a bunch of files using Git and renamer | json git tree | Search

This code snippet is a test case for the renameUsingGit function, aiming to rename all .css files to .scss within a specific Git repository.

Run example

npm run import -- "test github renamer"

test github renamer

// test it
// rename all scss files to less
//renameUsingGit(
//    '/Users/briancullinan/Documents/studysauce4',
//    'src/**/*.css',
//    '.css',
//    '.scss');

What the code could have been:

/**
 * Renames SCSS files to LESS using Git.
 *
 * @param {string} directory - Directory path to rename files in.
 * @param {string} pattern - Glob pattern of files to rename.
 * @param {string} fromExtension - Current file extension.
 * @param {string} toExtension - Target file extension.
 */
function renameUsingGit(directory, pattern, fromExtension, toExtension) {
    // TODO: Add error handling for directory and pattern
    const fs = require('fs');
    const path = require('path');
    const childProcess = require('child_process');

    // Log the operation for clarity
    console.log(`Renaming files in ${directory} from ${fromExtension} to ${toExtension}`);

    // Check if Git is installed and available
    if (!isGitInstalled()) {
        throw new Error('Git is not installed. Please install Git before proceeding.');
    }

    // Get a list of files matching the pattern
    const filePaths = getFilePaths(directory, pattern);

    // Iterate over each file and rename it using Git
    filePaths.forEach((filePath) => {
        const fileName = path.basename(filePath);
        const newFileName = fileName.replace(`.${fromExtension}`, `.${toExtension}`);
        const newFilePath = path.join(path.dirname(filePath), newFileName);

        // Use Git to rename the file
        renameFileUsingGit(filePath, newFilePath);
    });
}

/**
 * Checks if Git is installed and available.
 *
 * @returns {boolean} True if Git is installed, false otherwise.
 */
function isGitInstalled() {
    try {
        require('child_process').execSync('git --version');
        return true;
    } catch (error) {
        return false;
    }
}

/**
 * Gets a list of file paths matching the given pattern.
 *
 * @param {string} directory - Directory path to search in.
 * @param {string} pattern - Glob pattern of files to find.
 * @returns {Array<string>} List of file paths matching the pattern.
 */
function getFilePaths(directory, pattern) {
    const childProcess = require('child_process');
    return childProcess.execSync(`find ${directory} -name "${pattern}"`).toString().trim().split('\n');
}

/**
 * Renames a file using Git.
 *
 * @param {string} from - Original file path.
 * @param {string} to - Target file path.
 */
function renameFileUsingGit(from, to) {
    const childProcess = require('child_process');
    childProcess.execSync(`git mv ${from} ${to}`);
}

This code snippet appears to be a test case for the renameUsingGit function we discussed earlier.

Let's break it down:

In essence, this code snippet is a test to see if the renameUsingGit function can successfully rename all .css files to .scss within the specified Git repository.

Let me know if you have any other code snippets you'd like me to explain!
