NAME
git-column - Display data in columnsSYNOPSIS
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.

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.uiSpecify whether supported commands should
output in columns. This variable consists of a list of tokens separated by

These options control when the feature should be enabled (defaults to
never):
always
These options control layout (defaults to column). Setting any of these
implies always if none of always, never, or auto
are specified.
column
Finally, these options can be combined with a layout option (defaults to
nodense):
dense
column.branch
always show in columns
never
never show in columns
auto
show in columns if the output is to the
terminal
fill columns before rows
row
fill rows before columns
plain
show in one column
make unequal size columns to utilize more
space
nodense
make equal size columns
Specify whether to output branch listing in
git branch in columns. See column.ui for details.
column.clean
Specify the layout when list items in git
clean -i, which always shows files and directories in columns. See
column.ui for details.
