F2 - Command-Line Batch Renaming

F2 is a cross-platform command-line tool for batch renaming files and directories quickly and safely. Written in Go!

What does F2 do differently?

Compared to other renaming tools, F2 offers several key advantages:

Dry Run by Default: It defaults to a dry run so that you can review the renaming changes before proceeding.
Variable Support: F2 allows you to use file attributes, such as EXIF data for images or ID3 tags for audio files, to give you maximum flexibility in renaming.
Comprehensive Options: Whether it's simple string replacements or complex regular expressions, F2 provides a full range of renaming capabilities.
Safety First: It prioritizes accuracy by ensuring every renaming operation is conflict-free and error-proof through rigorous checks.
Conflict Resolution: Each renaming operation is validated before execution and detected conflicts can be automatically resolved.
High Performance: F2 is extremely fast and efficient, even when renaming thousands of files at once.
Undo Functionality: Any renaming operation can be easily undone to allow the easy correction of mistakes.
Extensive Documentation: F2 is well-documented with clear, practical examples to help you make the most of its features without confusion.

If you're a Go developer, F2 can be installed with go install (requires v1.23 or later):

go install github.com/ayoisaiah/f2/v2/cmd/f2@latest

Other installation methods are documented here or check out the releases page to download a pre-compiled binary for your operating system.
