You might want to say more specifically that we should avoid piping a
git command into another one as this could mask a failure of the git
command.

I think it's better if the 'sed' command is on a separate line.

Also you may have used just "out" instead of "<out" in the 'sed' command...

... as above you use "out" not "<out" in the 'head' command.
