Search Results for "get"

Get an overview of a directory, even a big one. That's what makes it usable where the old tree command would produce pages of output. Hit alt/enter and you're back to the terminal in the desired location. This way, you can navigate to a directory with the minimum amount of keystrokes, even if you don't exactly remember where it is. Broot is fast and doesn't block (any keystroke interrupts the current search to start the next one).

...Let's say you're playing with some of the data from the Data Science Toolkit, which contains several CSV files. Maybe you're interested in the population counts of each city in the world. So grab the data and start examining it. The next thing you might want to do is get an overview of the kind of data that appears in each column. The stats command will do this for you. The xsv table command takes any CSV data and formats it into aligned columns using elastic tabstops. These commands are instantaneous because they run in time and memory proportional to the size of the slice (which means they will scale to arbitrarily large CSV data).
