git-sed - replace patterns in git-controlled files

git-sed [ -c ] [ -f flags ] search replacement [ flags ] [ -- pathspec ]

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.

-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.

$ 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/.
