I copied a comment into the answer because the answer gives no explanation of how it "extends" Clayton's answer.

Oct 22, 2021 at 15:39 comment added Jonathan Hartley Aha, from man sponge: Unlike a shell redirect, sponge soaks up all its input before writing the output file. This allows constructing pipelines that read from and write to the same file.
Oct 22, 2021 at 15:38 comment added Jonathan Hartley $ sponge -h: soak up all input from stdin and write it to <file>. I don't yet understand why it has been appended to Clayton's answer. (although I suspect it is incidental, and the main value of this answer was using 'tac', which Clayton later incorporated in his answer too.)

Jun 11, 2015 at 20:26 comment added tralston For those on Mac, use brew install coreutils, and notice that all the GNU utils have a g prepended to avoid confusion with the BSD built-in Mac commands (e.g. gsed is GNU whereas sed is BSD). So use gtac.
