 # Understanding the difference between `get` and `select`
 
-TODO
+### Get
+
+Extract data using a cell path.
+
+This is equivalent to using the cell path access syntax: `$env.OS` is the same as `$env | get OS`.
+
+If multiple cell paths are given, this will produce a list of values.
+
+```nu
+'{"name":"Alice","job":"Engineer"}'
+| from json
+| get name
+| describe
+# => string
+```
+
+### Select
+
+Select only these columns or rows from the input. Opposite of `reject`.
+
+This differs from `get` in that, rather than accessing the given value in the data structure, it removes all non-selected values from the structure.
+
+Hence, using `select` on a table will produce a table, a list will produce a list, and a record will produce a record.
+
+```nu
+'{"name":"Alice","job":"Engineer"}'
+| from json
+| select name
+| describe
+# => record<name: string>
+```
