GIT-COLUMN(1)			  Git Manual			 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(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=<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(1) 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.
