grin
Make INI files greppable — like gron, but for INI (single binary, ~2 MB)
Grin can round trip .ini files into discrete, greppable assignments and back again. Inspired by gron (which does the same for JSON), grin lets you explore and filter .ini config files with standard *nix tools like grep, sed, and diff. It can also be useful in a PowerShell pipeline. I built it because INI files are everywhere but it was hard to search across sections while keeping context. It’s delightful because it round-trips perfectly: pipe through grep, then grin —ungrin to get a valid .ini file back with just the parts you want.
Turn your INI files into a grep-friendly playground and slice through config chaos like a pro with this nifty little binary! It’s like giving your INI a superpower to be searched, filtered, and transformed with ease.
