# join
> Join lines of two sorted files on a common field.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/join>.
- Join two files on the first (default) field:
`join {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Join two files using a comma (instead of a space) as the field separator:
`join -t {{','}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Join field3 of file1 with field1 of file2:
`join -1 {{3}} -2 {{1}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Produce a line for each unpairable line for file1:
`join -a {{1}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Join a file from `stdin`:
`cat {{path/to/file1}} | join - {{path/to/file2}}`
