pivot

Pivots the table contents so rows become columns and columns become rows.

Examples

> ls docs

Use --header-row to treat the first row as column names:

> ls docs | pivot --header-row
━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 # │ docs/commands │ docs/docker.md │ docs/philosophy.md
───┼───────────────┼────────────────┼────────────────────
 0 │ Directory     │ File           │ File
 1 │               │                │
 2 │        4.1 KB │         7.0 KB │             896 B
 3 │ an hour ago   │ an hour ago    │ an hour ago
 4 │ an hour ago   │ a day ago      │ a day ago
━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Use --ignore-titles to prevent pivoting the column names into values:

> ls docs | pivot --ignore-titles
━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 # │ Column0       │ Column1        │ Column2
───┼───────────────┼────────────────┼────────────────────
 0 │ docs/commands │ docs/docker.md │ docs/philosophy.md
 1 │ Directory     │ File           │ File
 2 │               │                │
 3 │        4.1 KB │         7.0 KB │             896 B
 4 │ an hour ago   │ an hour ago    │ an hour ago
 5 │ an hour ago   │ a day ago      │ a day ago

Additional arguments are used as column names:

> ls docs | pivot foo bar baz

 # │ foo      │ bar           │ baz            │ Column3
