This trick was performed by using some GNU-specific `sed` extensions:
sed -i "$(git grep git-for-windows/git/wiki/ |
tr '>;#() ='\' '\n' |
grep git-for-windows/git/wiki/ |
sort |
uniq |
sed '# transform every wiki URL to a sed `s,,,` expression
# using the GNU-specific extension where `s///` can use
# other delimiters than `/`; We use both `,` and `=` separators
# in the following.
s/^/s,/ # prefix with `s,` of the `s,,,` expression
h # store the `s,,` part of the `s,,,` in the hold space
s,.*/,, # reduce to base name
s/\(.*\)/\L\1/ # lowercase the base name (GNU-specific)
s/[^0-9A-Za-z_]\+/-/g # replace non-alphanumeric runs with `-`
# prefix with `https://gitforwindows.org/` and surround with
# commas of the `s,,,` expression
s=.*=,https://gitforwindows.org/&,g;=
H # append it to the hold space
x # move the `s,,,` expression from hold space
# remove the newline that was inserted when appending to the
# hold space
s/\n//
')" $(git grep -l git-for-windows/git/wiki/)
In other words, it uses GNU sed to construct a GNU sed command that
replaces in-place all occurrences of the old wiki URLs with links
pointing to the respective new location.
