Place to cook the tasks. Once they are boiled enough, move them to a separate plate.

Start the first heading with “=====”

Let's say we want to sort a series of numbers in descending order but keep the header at the top. For example, given

$ echo -e "value\n8\n2\n6\n3"
value
8
2
6
3

we want to output

value
2
3
6
8

We can't directly use 'sort' since it will sort the header as well.

$ echo -e "value\n8\n2\n6\n3" | sort
2
3
6
8
value

Create a script called 'body' with the following contents

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# body: apply expression to all but the first line.
# Use multiple times in case the header spans more than one line.
#
# Example usage:
# $ echo -e "value\n8\n2\n6\n3" | body sort
#
IFS= read -r header
printf '%s\n' "$header"
"$@"

Make it executable

chmod +x body

place it somewhere in your PATH (say ~/bin)

mv body ~/bin

This script will apply any unix command to all but the first line. For example, using it on our example

$ echo -e "value\n8\n2\n6\n3" | body sort
value
2
3
6
8

I got the above script from https://github.com/jeroenjanssens/dsutils/blob/master/body . The underlying repository (https://github.com/jeroenjanssens/dsutils) contains many such useful scripts (ex:- header - to add, replace, and delete header lines). A more practical approach is to clone the entire repository and add the repo location to your PATH.
