AST-grep(sg) is a CLI tool for code structural search, lint, and rewriting

https://github.com/ast-grep/ast-grep

Summary: ast-grep is a CLI tool for code structural search, lint, and rewriting, written in Rust. It uses an AST-based algorithm to search and replace code based on abstract syntax trees produced by tree-sitter. Key features include an intuitive pattern for finding and replacing AST, jQuery-like API for AST traversal and manipulation, and YAML configuration for linting rules or code modification. The tool aims to democratize abstract syntax tree magic and simplify AST programming.
