tidy-viewer {{path/to/file.csv}}

• Pretty-print data piped from stdin:

tidy-viewer {{[-s|--delimiter]}} '|' {{path/to/file.psv}}

• Display data with a specific color palette (1: nord, 2: one_dark, 3: gruvbox, 4: dracula, 5: solarized light):

tidy-viewer {{[-c|--color]}} {{3}} {{path/to/file.csv}}

• Print all rows in color, paging through the output:

tidy-viewer {{[-af|--color-always --force-all-rows]}} {{path/to/file.csv}} | less -RS

tidy-viewer {{[-h|--help]}}
