Add column utility #95

Open pwltrs opened 1 year ago

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/column.1.html

Could we please include the column utility to the default image for better display of data?

jq csv is nice, but difficult to visually read. jq tsv would be ideal, but doesn't play nice when strings are varying lengths.

Hello @pwltrs Thanks for opening the issue. As the change look harmless, we would like to keep the images as minimal as possible. We need to discuss that internally and decide if we should implement that.

One clarifying question: what image do You mean by default image exactly?

As per temporary solution You can build Your own image from our. E.g. by creating a Dockerfile file (assuming that You use akamai/shell):

FROM akamai/shell:latest
RUN apk add util-linux

After building this image, the column should be there.

Best regards, Wojciech

@pwltrs can you let us know what specific use case (with what image) you try to resolve? We want to get more understanding of the problem and how potentially experience can be improved in general.
