Gregory is a developer of command-line utilities that prioritize speed and simplicity. The publisher’s current portfolio is anchored by sd, a cross-platform tool designed to streamline text substitution workflows. Built in Rust, sd performs high-performance find-and-replace operations across single files, nested directories, or piped streams, making it popular among DevOps engineers who need to patch configuration templates, developers refactoring large codebases, and data analysts sanitizing CSV or log extracts. Regular-expression support with familiar syntax lowers the learning curve for users migrating from sed or Perl one-liners, while safety features such as dry-run previews and automatic backups protect production assets. Because the binary is self-contained and dependency-free, sd integrates cleanly into CI pipelines, Docker images, and remote shell sessions, complementing existing shell scripts without altering system libraries. Gregory maintains the project on GitHub, publishing signed releases for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and welcomes community contributions that expand pattern-matching capabilities or improve Unicode handling. The publisher’s software is available free of charge on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, ensuring the latest upstream build is installed; multiple applications can be selected and deployed in a single batch operation.
sd is an intuitive find & replace CLI.
