Have you ever used the “column” command?

Damn, I could’ve avoided hours of scrolling up by now if I knew about this before.

If I need the top lines I usually just pipe output to less, but column is definitely going to help a lot!

There is also head and tail.

Yeah but I’ve always found I underestimate the amount of lines I needed to head.

tail I really only use with the -f flag to keep a tab on logs and the like.
