    ## Useful Utils
    - `sort` : sorts lines of text alphabetically.
    - `uniq` : filters duplicate, adjacent lines of text.
    - `grep` : searches for a text pattern and outputs it.
    - `sed` : searches for a text pattern, modifies it, and outputs it.

    - `uniq` : filters duplicate, adjacent lines of text.

    ###grep
    `grep` stands for "global regular expression print". It searches files for lines that match a pattern and returns the results. It is also case sensitive. Use `i` option for case insensitive.

    ###sed
    `sed` stands for "stream editor". It accepts standard input and modifies it based on an expression, before displaying it as output data. It is similar to "find and replace". Works on each line separately. Use `g` flag to match all instances on line, not just first.
