9 git column [--command=<name>] [--[raw-]mode=<mode>] [--width=<width>]
10 [--indent=<string>] [--nl=<string>] [--padding=<n>]
11
13 This command formats the lines of its standard input into a table with
14 multiple columns. Each input line occupies one cell of the table. It is
15 used internally by other git commands to format output into columns.
16
18 --command=<name>
19 Look up layout mode using configuration variable column.<name> and
20 column.ui.
21
22 --mode=<mode>
23 Specify layout mode. See configuration variable column.ui for
24 option syntax in git-config(1).
25
26 --raw-mode=<n>
27 Same as --mode but take mode encoded as a number. This is mainly
28 used by other commands that have already parsed layout mode.
29
30 --width=<width>
31 Specify the terminal width. By default git column will detect the
32 terminal width, or fall back to 80 if it is unable to do so.
33
34 --indent=<string>
35 String to be printed at the beginning of each line.
36
37 --nl=<N>
38 String to be printed at the end of each line, including newline
39 character.
40
41 --padding=<N>
42 The number of spaces between columns. One space by default.
43
45 Format data by columns:
46
47 $ seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=5
48 1 4 7 10 13 16 19 22
49 2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23
50 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24
51
52 Format data by rows:
53
54 $ seq 1 21 | git column --mode=row --padding=5
55 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
56 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
57 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

59 List some tags in a table with unequal column widths:
60
61 $ git tag --list 'v2.4.*' --column=row,dense
62 v2.4.0 v2.4.0-rc0 v2.4.0-rc1 v2.4.0-rc2 v2.4.0-rc3
63 v2.4.1 v2.4.10 v2.4.11 v2.4.12 v2.4.2
