Yeah, it must keep resetting... then.  I am doing something a bit out of the norm anyhow for here.

So I will leave it at that.

git rev-list --all | xargs git grep -F python2.7

scans all versions of all files in reverse chronological order, to find "python2.7".

Probably you mean to only check the latest version of the files? Like

grep  -F python2.7 -r *

which would not report any match.

That find command of @fsmithred, when taken literally, will replace all occurrences of "old-word" (literally) with "new-word" (literally), and it will do nothing to occurrences of "python2.7".

That is a puzzle for ome and not for others.

find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/old-word/new-word/g' {} \;

Then I did my command to check to see if it was fixed,

git rev-list --all | xargs git grep -F python2.7

I seem to have gotten mixed up and written wrong thing down... my bad.

In any case, that might help clear up the confusion.

Does the find command you gave me actually replace all mentions of the word python2.7 if I put it as first word with the second word in all source code?

Or am I really confused.

I ask, "What did you do before you ran that 'find' command?"  It should have worked.

;P

Btw, I used this command after doing that:

git rev-list --all | xargs git grep -F python2.7

and it still shows python2.7 mentions... weird stuff.

Correcting what I said, I wrote down the wrong one.

find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/old-word/new-word/g' {} \;

Be careful with your words! (e.g. don't change a word that might be part of a word that's not the intended word.)

How can I replace all mentions instead of a word instead of searching for it.
