       -f <flags>

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

       <search>

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!
