Grit
Grit is a declarative query language and tool for searching and modifying source code across large repositories.
Grit utilizes a declarative query language called GritQL to perform searches and modifications on source code. It operates at scale, processing repositories with over 10 million lines of code using query optimization built in Rust. Users define patterns using code snippets and metavariables to find or replace syntax. The system supports a wide range of languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Terraform, Solidity, Rust, Go, and SQL. It includes a module system for reusing patterns and creating custom linting rules.
