NAME
       git-sed - 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.

       <flags> -f <flags>

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

       <search>

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

       <replacement>

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

       -- <pathspec>

       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/.
