Proposal

Sourcegraph has a feature "Batch Changes" whereby a user can automate large scale code changes.

Currently sourcegraph are the only organisation offering this functionality and it would be a positive step forward and a further differentiator for GitLab to also offer this.

Giving developers the ability to automate bulk code changes means that they become more efficient, reduce the hidden cost and burden of making updates and increases the speed of engineering.

If this were to be available directly from GitLab it would improve the customer experience and enhance their efficiency.

This has been put forward by a large GitLab Ultimate customer and their SFDC link is below:
