+> Split a file into pieces
+
+- Split a file with 10 lines in each split (except last split)
+
+`split -l 10 {{filename}}`
+
+- Split a file into 5 files. All the splits have same size (not necessarily same number of lines)
+
+`split -n 5 {{filename}}`
+
+- Split a file with 512 bytes of lines in each split (most useful)
+
+`split -C 512 {{filename}}`
