Without any option, running sed doesn't update files. So, normal mode is dry run mode.

dry run with diff 

sed 's/hoge/fuga/g' sample.txt | diff sample.txt -
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

dry run with beauty diff

sed 's/hoge/fuga/g' sample.txt | diff --color -u sample.txt -

-i(--in-place)

sed -i 's/hoge/fuga/g' sample.txt
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

update with backup 

sed -i.bak 's/hoge/fuga/g' sample.txt
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
