NAME

6       git-column - Display data in columns
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git column [--command=<name>] [--[raw-]mode=<mode>] [--width=<width>]
10                    [--indent=<string>] [--nl=<string>] [--padding=<n>]
11

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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=<string>
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

EXAMPLES

45       Format data by columns:

52       Format data by rows:
53
54           $ seq 1 21 | git column --mode=row --padding=5
55           1      2      3      4      5      6      7

58
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
64           v2.4.3  v2.4.4      v2.4.5      v2.4.6      v2.4.7

CONFIGURATION

68       Everything below this line in this section is selectively included from
69       the git-config(1) documentation. The content is the same as what’s
70       found there:
71
72       column.ui
73           Specify whether supported commands should output in columns. This
74           variable consists of a list of tokens separated by spaces or
75           commas:
76
77           These options control when the feature should be enabled (defaults
78           to never):
79
80           always
81               always show in columns
82
83           never
84               never show in columns
85
86           auto
87               show in columns if the output is to the terminal
88
89           These options control layout (defaults to column). Setting any of
90           these implies always if none of always, never, or auto are
91           specified.
92
93           column
94               fill columns before rows
95
96           row
97               fill rows before columns
98
99           plain
100               show in one column
101
102           Finally, these options can be combined with a layout option
103           (defaults to nodense):
104
105           dense
106               make unequal size columns to utilize more space
107
108           nodense
109               make equal size columns
110
111       column.branch
112           Specify whether to output branch listing in git branch in columns.
113           See column.ui for details.
114
115       column.clean
116           Specify the layout when list items in git clean -i, which always
117           shows files and directories in columns. See column.ui for details.
118
119       column.status
120           Specify whether to output untracked files in git status in columns.
121           See column.ui for details.
122
123       column.tag
124           Specify whether to output tag listing in git tag in columns. See
125           column.ui for details.
