gomod-rename

Rename a Go module without hunting import paths by hand.

go.mod and every import that still says the old path. Dry-run unless you pass -w. Skips vendor/ and hidden directories. Stdlib only.

# see the hits
gomod-rename github.com/old/mod github.com/you/mod

# write them
gomod-rename -w github.com/old/mod github.com/you/mod

go.mod                          module github.com/old/mod
internal/api/client.go          "github.com/old/mod/internal/api"

becomes

go.mod                          module github.com/you/mod
internal/api/client.go          "github.com/you/mod/internal/api"
