# Golumn

Golumn is a visual data viewer. `column` with a "g". It behaves similar to the
`column` command, but with a graphic user interface. It bridges the command line
and desktop divide, by allowing us to present tabular data outside the confines
of the terminal.

The challenges without this tool is attempting managing a bunch of tabular
output within only a terminal alone. It's difficult to maintain context when
long scrolling text and we're often executing the same statements to bring up
previous results.

A typical work flow without this tool is to beautify the data in traditional:

```sh
# psql
#   -A :: remove whitespace
#   -c :: run the SQL statement
# column
#   -t :: table-ize
#   -s :: set delimiter
# less
#   -S :: Scroll horizontally (enables left/right arrows)
psql -Ac 'select * from pg_tables' | column -ts '|' | less -S
```

When you're done viewing the data it disappears. Leaving you to remember what
you saw as you're building the next statement. We could (and probably should)
manage our terminal windows better with splits and tabs, but there's limits
which desktop GUI's have solved. Enter `golumn`.

## Usage

```sh
# Open a CSV file:
golumn data.csv &

# Pipe in the data:
cat data.csv | golumn &

# Show Query Results:
psql -Ac 'select * from pg_tables' | golumn &
```

## Installation

This package is available via https://pypi.python.org/pypi.
To install on your system try:
```sh
pip install golumn --upgrade --user
# --upgrade ensures you get the latest version
# --user install only for your user
```
For more info on install pip packages see: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/quickstart/

Make sure `pip` binaries are available in your `$PATH`:

```sh
pip show golumn
# => Name: golumn
# => Version: 0.3.0
# => Summary: Graphical CSV viewer. `column` with a "g"
# => Home-page: https://github.com/ddrscott/golumnpy

# => Location: /Users/scott.pierce/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages

```

In the above case I need to ensure `~/Library/Python/2.7/bin` was in my `$PATH`
