Wow I read through the blog post and though I’m not a developer I’ve compiled and built Linux packages and operating systems in the past so now I want to fly home and give your script a go myself.
I enjoyed your write up. I can’t comment on programming, but I enjoy a good journey and story.
My final takeaway is your image. I’ll keep it in mind. Interesting!
You read through all that? Wow. Good on you! Even I didn’t re-read it, so there are probably typos all over.
Yeah, the code isn’t interesting. It’s just a bunch of zsh hacked together; I wouldn’t be surprised if you encounter issues running it. The only thing I’m pretty sure of is that it won’t break anything.
Good luck. If you do run it and get a graph, please post it. I’m interested to see results from other systems. Note that the script generates an svg, so you’ll need to convert it to png to post it, or just go on and edit the csvtk graph command and change the svg suffix to png and it’ll create a png for you.
Also, I meant to do this in the README: a huge shout-out to the author of csvtk. It’s a fantastic tool, and I only just discovered the graph command which does so much. It has a built-in, simple pivot table function (a group argument) that replaced a whole other tool and process step. Seriously nice piece of software for working with CSV.
