csv-diff: Display a human-readable summary of differences between files using a specific column as a unique identifier.
$ csv-diff ${filename1-csv} ${filename2-csv} --key=${column_name}
try on your machine

This command uses the "csv-diff" tool to compare two CSV files, namely filename1-csv and filename2-csv. The tool compares the records in the two files and identifies any differences between them.

The "--key" parameter specifies the column name to use as the key for comparison. This means that the tool will match records based on this column. For example, if the column_name is "id", the tool will match records with the same "id" value in both files.

By running this command, you will get a comparison result that highlights any differences between the two CSV files based on the specified column.
