git-column(1)
=============
NAME
----
git-column - Display data in columns
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git column' [--command=<name>] [--[raw-]mode=<mode>] [--width=<width>]
[--indent=<string>] [--nl=<string>] [--padding=<n>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command formats the lines of its standard input into a table with
multiple columns. Each input line occupies one cell of the table. It
is used internally by other git commands to format output into
columns.
OPTIONS
-------
--command=<name>::
Look up layout mode using configuration variable column.<name> and
column.ui.
--mode=<mode>::
Specify layout mode. See configuration variable column.ui for option
syntax in linkgit:git-config[1].
--raw-mode=<n>::
Same as --mode but take mode encoded as a number. This is mainly used
by other commands that have already parsed layout mode.
--width=<width>::
Specify the terminal width. By default 'git column' will detect the
terminal width, or fall back to 80 if it is unable to do so.
--indent=<string>::
String to be printed at the beginning of each line.
String to be printed at the end of each line,
including newline character.
--padding=<N>::
The number of spaces between columns. One space by default.
EXAMPLES
--------
Format data by columns:
------------
$ seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=5

2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
------------
List some tags in a table with unequal column widths:
------------
$ git tag --list 'v2.4.*' --column=row,dense
