tr translates characters, here every comma into a tab, converting CSV into TSV (tab-separated values). The input redirection (<) reads data.csv, and head -2 limits output to two lines. tr does not understand quotes, so commas inside quoted fields are converted too, which can corrupt data. For safe delimiter conversion use csvformat or xsv fmt.
