git-column(1) =============

NAME ---- git-column - Display data in columns

SYNOPSIS --------

’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 git-config.

--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=\<string>
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

CONFIGURATION -------------

Everything below this line in this section is selectively included from the [git-config](git-config.md) documentation. The content is the same as what’s found there:

column.ui Specify whether supported commands should output in columns. This variable consists of a list of tokens separated by spaces or commas: These options control when the feature should be enabled (defaults to ’never’):

`always`;; always show in columns `never`;; never show in columns `auto`;; show in columns if the output is to the terminal

These options control layout (defaults to ’column’). Setting any of these implies ’always’ if none of ’always’, ’never’, or ’auto’ are specified.

`column`;; fill columns before rows `row`;; fill rows before columns `plain`;; show in one column

Finally, these options can be combined with a layout option (defaults to ’nodense’):

`dense`;; make unequal size columns to utilize more space `nodense`;; make equal size columns

column.branch Specify whether to output branch listing in `git` `branch` in columns. See `column.ui` for details. column.clean Specify the layout when listing items in `git` `clean` `-i`, which always shows files and directories in columns. See `column.ui` for details. column.status Specify whether to output untracked files in `git` `status` in columns. See `column.ui` for details. column.tag Specify whether to output tag listings in `git` `tag` in columns. See `column.ui` for details.
