Massren is a command line tool that can be used to rename multiple files using your own text editor. Multiple-rename tools are usually difficult to use from the command line since any regular expression needs to be escaped, and each tool uses its own syntax and flavor of regex. The advantage of massren is that you are using the text editor you use every day, so can use all its features. The tool works by creating a file that contains the filenames of the target directory and opening this file in the text editor. ...

...It focuses on practical concerns unique to YAML—multi-document streams, anchors and aliases, comments, and block scalars—so a reformat doesn’t destroy semantics or helpful annotations. The tool ships as a single, distributable binary and can also be used as a library, making it simple to drop into CI and editor workflows. Configuration is file-based, allowing teams to pin indentation, line wrapping, and other house-style choices repo-wide. By normalizing structure while preserving meaning, it reduces diff noise and merge friction in configs, Kubernetes manifests, and automation playbooks. The project is intentionally extensible, so organizations can add custom formatters or rules without forking.
