Find and replace inside files with sed and xargs

I cleaned up my life on the road polluted links by running

rg -l -0 'find' | xargs -0 -I % sed -i '' 's/find/replace/g' "%"

The breakdown is that

• rg -l 'regexPattern' gets a list of files with the pattern in the current directory (my Obsidian vault)
• rg -l -0 outputs a null byte at the end of each file path, while xargs -0 delimits file paths with null bytes. This permits file paths with quotes in them.
• xargs -I % templateCommand replaces % inside templateCommand with each file passed via stdin
• sed -i '' 's/search/replace/g filePath replaces all instances of search with replace inside filePath
