Anon – A Unix Command to Anonymise Data

In plain words

Anon is a Unix command-line tool that removes personally identifiable information from datasets. It allows users to anonymize data by masking or removing sensitive details while preserving the overall structure and usability of the information. The tool is designed for developers and data professionals who need to prepare datasets for sharing, testing, or analysis while protecting individual privacy. It integrates with standard Unix workflows and is available on GitHub.
