git-sed(1) -- replace patterns in git-controlled files
======================================================

## SYNOPSIS

`git-sed` [ -c ] [ -f <flags> ] <search> <replacement> [ <flags> ] [ -- <pathspec> ]

## DESCRIPTION

Run git grep and then send results to sed for replacement with the
given flags, if they are provided via -f or as the third argument.

Also runs git commit if -c is provided.

## OPTIONS

  -c

  commit the resulting changes with a standard commit message
  detailing the exact command ran. It will fail if there are unstaged
  changes.

  &lt;flags&gt;
  -f &lt;flags&gt;

  will use the given regex flags in the sed command (for example "g"
  replaces multiple times on the same line).

  &lt;search&gt;

  the pattern passed to grep and to the first part of the sed expression.

  &lt;replacement&gt;

  the replacement passed to sed, the second part of the sed expression.

  -- &lt;pathspec&gt;

  limit the paths which will be applied on.
  Read https://git-scm.com/docs/gitglossary.html#Documentation/gitglossary.txt-aiddefpathspecapathspec
  for the supported patterns of pathspec.

## EXAMPLES

    $ git sed 'my_function' 'do_stuff'
    # ... only does the changes, without committing
    $ git commit -m"use proper function name"
    $ git sed -c 'do_stuff' 'stuff'
    # .. does the changes and a commit
    $ git sed -f g do_stuff stuff
    # .. g is actually pretty important, otherwise you will miss some
    # stuff!
    $ git sed 'my_method' 'do_stuff' -- lake/
    # ... only replace 'my_method' occurs under lake/.
