Demystify and debug sed scripts from the comfort of your terminal

Desed is a command line tool with beautiful TUI that provides users with a comfortable interface and practical debugger, used to step through complex sed scripts.

Some of the notable features include

  • Preview variable values, both of them
  • See how will a substitute command affect pattern space before it runs
  • Step through sed script, both forward and backwards
  • Place breakpoints and examine program state
  • Hot reload and see what changes as you edit source code
  • Its name is a palindrome

desed currently only supports GNU sed gsed because BSD sed doesn’t support the execution annotation feature the –debug argument of gsed that desed depends on.
