From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Since I don't know the structure of your files, I can't help entirely, but I would use find/locate to get a list of file paths, then use a script to take that list and use sed for the replacement, like this:
Please copy the entire line for oldtext and newtext to avoid accidental replacements.
Also, I am very new to scripting, and this likely has multiple problems with it. I am just throwing out ideas.
Looked at your github. I would do this in a script:
Once again, probably not the most efficient way to do it, but it might work.
Thanks I'll give that a try!
