# pre 

Pre is a simple command line tool for adding text to the beginning of a file. 

You previously could do this ["easily"](https://media.giphy.com/media/ANbD1CCdA3iI8/giphy.gif) with `sed`:

```bash

$ sed -i.old '1s;^;to be prepended;' inFile

```

But now you can just do it with `pre`:

```bash 

$ echo "some text in front" | pre someFile.txt | sponge someFile.txt

```

If you don't have sponge, you can get it from `moreutils`:

```

# mac

brew install moreutils

# ubuntu/linux

apt-get install moreutils

```

## Install 

If you have go, you can install this with:

```

go get -u github.com/Flaque/pre

```
