BeanHub-Cli 1.4.2 now supports account and currency rename

[Fang-Pen Lin]

As a heavy Beancount user myself, I always wanted a simple command line to rename an account or a currency name in all files at once. Certainly, the text editing tool search and replace feature could help, but from time to time, there will be a name that happens to be a substring of another unrelative string (such as Assets:Cash and Assets:Cash:WindFall), making massive renaming a bit more annoying.

I have built this functionality for BeanHub previously, but because it's super useful, I have always wanted to bring it to our open-sourced command line tool, beanhub-cli. Today, I finally found the time to do it. With the new release 1.4.2, you can do this to run format with renaming account and currency as a side effect:

bh format \
    -ra Assets:Cash Assets:Cash:Wallet \
    -ra Expenses:Food Expenses:Dining \
    -rc BITCOIN BTC \
    -rc ETHER ETH

You can find the repo here:

and the doc for format here:

Hope this can be helpful to some 😄

Thanks for sharing!
