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.
 
--nl=<N>::
	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
1      4      7      10     13     16     19     22
2      5      8      11     14     17     20     23
3      6      9      12     15     18     21     24
------------
 
Format data by rows:
------------
$ seq 1 21 | git column --mode=row --padding=5
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
v2.4.0  v2.4.0-rc0  v2.4.0-rc1  v2.4.0-rc2  v2.4.0-rc3
v2.4.1  v2.4.10     v2.4.11     v2.4.12     v2.4.2
v2.4.3  v2.4.4      v2.4.5      v2.4.6      v2.4.7
v2.4.8  v2.4.9
