I haven't been able to find a faster way to find and replace across a large repo, while respecting ignore files, than Scooter in `--no-tui` mode. If you know of a quicker way, let me know!

This should only happen if you hit enter on the confirmation screen - was it not clear that this would happen? I'd rather not slow users down by making them confirm that they definitely want to perform the replacement, but I'm happy to hear about other ways to make it clear that a replacement is going to be performed

It uses https://docs.rs/ignore/latest/ignore/ to walk dirs while respecting ignore files

I use Helix, which doesn't have find and replace built in!
