Replace Word

Replaces words of text and file names.

The words are given as hyphenated words (e.g. user-name), and are replaced in each naming style: UserName, userName, USER_NAME, user_name, USER-NAME, user-name, USERNAME, username, User Name, User name and user name.

Files ignored by Git (.gitignore, .git/info/exclude and core.excludesFile) are excluded by default. The .git directory, symbolic links and binary files are always excluded.
