This command prepends the given row to the front of the table
**Note**:

- `prepend` does not change a file itself. If you want to save your changes, you need to run the `save` command
- if you want to add something containing a whitespace character, you need to put it in quotation marks
## Examples
Let's complete this table with the missing continents:
```shell
> open continents.txt | lines
━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# │ <value>
───┼───────────────
0 │ Africa
1 │ South America
2 │ Australia
3 │ Europe
4 │ Antarctica
━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```
You can add a new row at the top by using `prepend`:
```shell
> open continents.txt | lines | prepend Asia
━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# │ <value>
───┼───────────────
0 │ Asia
1 │ Africa
2 │ South America
3 │ Australia
4 │ Europe
5 │ Antarctica
━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```
It's not possible to add multiple rows at once, so you'll need to call `prepend` multiple times:
```shell
> open continents.txt | lines | prepend Asia | prepend "North America"
━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# │ <value>
───┼───────────────
0 │ North America
1 │ Asia
2 │ Africa
3 │ South America
4 │ Australia
5 │ Europe
6 │ Antarctica
━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```
