huge_data.csv

first_name	last_name	age	mobile_phone

...	...	...	...

We will use command like this:

fake-gen --limit 10 --out huge_data --column name --column name --column age --column phone

OR by using shorthand

fake-gen -l 10 -u -o huge_data -c name -c name -c age -c phone

OR to generate only unique phone numbers add flag --unique or -u

fake-gen --limit 10 --out huge_data --column name --column name --column age --column phone --unique
