Yeah this is a very very common and fundamental operation in programming. Always use the “refactor” tool in your IDE instead of trying to change every instance of a variable name by hand.

It’s like using a linter: you do it because it’s the right thing to do and doing it without the tool confers no benefit and is prone to error.
