Hello,

I needed to replace all GUIDs in a file with the new ones in order to reimport expored data, so I created this simple tool that anyone can use.

Below is part of description from GitHub: guidrep is a simple command-line tool for replacing GUIDs (UUIDs) in text files or standard input. It reads the input, replaces all GUIDs with new randomly generated ones, and ensures that any repeated GUIDs in the original are replaced with the same new GUID.

This tool is especially useful for preparing JSON data for re-import, anonymizing data exports, or resetting identifiers in configuration files.

Inspired by this Stack Overflow question and answers: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2201740/replacing-all-gu...
