Edit any file, any language, CLI + MCP
Edit any file, any language, any way — CLI + MCP
fedit is a free, open-source CLI file editor for developers, sysadmins, analysts, and power users. Surgical file editing without an IDE — target by content or block name, not line numbers. Supports Go, Python, JS, Rust, Java, C#, Ruby, PHP, HCL/Terraform. Built-in MCP server for AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Cline). Replaces sed/awk for structured edits. Benchmark: Claude 7/7, ChatGPT 1/7, Gemini 1/7. MIT licensed. Free forever.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Alex, a solo developer from Miami.
I built fedit because I kept reaching for sed, awk, or a full IDE just to make precise changes to files — and none of them felt right. sed breaks on structure, awk requires learning a whole mini-language, and IDEs are overkill when you're scripting or automating.
fedit does one thing well: surgical file editing from the command line.
It works for everyone — not just Go developers. If you edit config files, automate deployments, work with Terraform/HCL, parse logs, or build AI-assisted workflows, fedit fits in.
A few things I'm proud of:
→ Block-aware editing by language (Go, Python, Terraform, and 7 more)
→ MCP server built in — AI agents like Claude can edit files directly, saving tokens
→ -x, -v, and -quiet flags for scripting and CI pipelines
→ Benchmark: Claude scored 7/7 fedit tasks vs ChatGPT 1/7 and Gemini 1/7
This is MIT licensed, free forever, and actively maintained.
I'm personally responding to every comment and issue. If something doesn't work the way you expect, tell me — your feedback shapes the next release directly.
