### usage

```

### example

```shell

    # there are a lot of possibilities with this thing

    # for example list some files, clean them up or prune them in the editor, then delete them

    $ ls ~/my-files | vi-pipe | xargs rm

    # changes are kept, so long as the current directory doesn't change

    $ echo a | vi-pipe

    ab   # only added the "b" char in editor

    $ echo a | vi-pipe

    abc  # only added the "c" char in editor, previous change pre-applied

    # manipulate some data

    $ cat people.csv | csv-to-json | jq '.[] | .address'

    # oops, no jq output. this csv has no header row, let's add it in the editor

    $ cat people.csv | vi-pipe | csv-to-json | jq '.[] | .address'

    Dublin, Irenand

    Barcelona, Spain

    # nice, but there's a typo. let me re-open in the editor. there'll be no need to add the header again

    $ cat people.csv | vi-pipe -re | csv-to-json | jq '.[] | .address'

    Dublin, Ireland

    Barcelona, Spain
