I want to recursively iterate through a directory and change the extension of all files of a certain extension, say .t1 to .t2. What is the bash command for doing this?

The most common way to change file extensions recursively in a directory is to use a bash for loop. We can prompt the user to enter the target directory, old extension, and the new extension to rename using a bash script.
Use:
find . -name "*.t1" -exec bash -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.t1}".t2' - '{}' + If you have rename available then use one of these:
find . -name '*.t1' -exec rename .t1 .t2 {} + find . -name "*.t1" -exec rename 's/\.t1$/.t2/' '{}' + If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
