+# View Nicely-Formatted CSV In Terminal
+
+I'd just written and run a script to generate a CSV of data requested by a
+stakeholder. Before sending it over to them, I wanted to briefly browse through
+it to make sure the data passed a spot-check and that the way I structured
+things looked reasonable.
+
+There are a dozen ways I can view a CSV file on my machine, but I wasn't
+interested in opening another program or navigating to the file in Finder.app.
+
+I had generated the file in the terminal and I wanted to view it there.
+
+The Rust-built [`csvlens`](https://github.com/YS-L/csvlens) CLI is just what I
+was looking for.
+
+```bash
+$ csvlens data_report_20250627.csv
+```
+
+This shows the data spaced out with columns and rows and has a set of
+keybindings that can be browsed with `?`.
+
+I got this tool from `brew install csvlens`.
