.SH "SYNOPSIS"

\fIgit column\fR [\-\-command=<name>] [\-\-[raw\-]mode=<mode>] [\-\-width=<width>]
             [\-\-indent=<string>] [\-\-nl=<string>] [\-\-padding=<n>]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
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\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-\-command=<name>
.RS 4
Look up layout mode using configuration variable column\&.<name> and column\&.ui\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-mode=<mode>
.RS 4
Specify layout mode\&. See configuration variable column\&.ui for option syntax in
\fBgit-config\fR(1)\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-raw\-mode=<n>
.RS 4
Same as \-\-mode but take mode encoded as a number\&. This is mainly used by other commands that have already parsed layout mode\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-width=<width>
.RS 4
Specify the terminal width\&. By default
\fIgit column\fR
will detect the terminal width, or fall back to 80 if it is unable to do so\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-indent=<string>
.RS 4
String to be printed at the beginning of each line\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-nl=<string>
.RS 4
String to be printed at the end of each line, including newline character\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-padding=<N>
.RS 4
The number of spaces between columns\&. One space by default\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.sp
Format data by columns:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ seq 1 24 | git column \-\-mode=column \-\-padding=5
1      4      7      10     13     16     19     22

Format data by rows:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ seq 1 21 | git column \-\-mode=row \-\-padding=5
1      2      3      4      5      6      7

.sp
List some tags in a table with unequal column widths:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ git tag \-\-list \*(Aqv2\&.4\&.*\*(Aq \-\-column=row,dense
v2\&.4\&.0  v2\&.4\&.0\-rc0  v2\&.4\&.0\-rc1  v2\&.4\&.0\-rc2  v2\&.4\&.0\-rc3

.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.sp
Everything below this line in this section is selectively included from the \fBgit-config\fR(1) documentation\&. The content is the same as what\(cqs found there:
.PP
column\&.ui
.RS 4
Specify whether supported commands should output in columns\&. This variable consists of a list of tokens separated by spaces or commas:
.sp
These options control when the feature should be enabled (defaults to
\fInever\fR):
.PP
\fBalways\fR
.RS 4
always show in columns
.RE
.PP
\fBnever\fR
.RS 4
never show in columns
.RE
.PP
\fBauto\fR
.RS 4
show in columns if the output is to the terminal
.RE
.sp
These options control layout (defaults to
\fIcolumn\fR)\&. Setting any of these implies
\fIalways\fR
if none of
\fIalways\fR,
\fInever\fR, or
\fIauto\fR
are specified\&.
.PP
\fBcolumn\fR
.RS 4

.RE
.PP
\fBrow\fR
.RS 4
fill rows before columns
.RE
.PP
\fBplain\fR
.RS 4
show in one column
.RE
.sp
Finally, these options can be combined with a layout option (defaults to
\fInodense\fR):
.PP
\fBdense\fR
.RS 4
make unequal size columns to utilize more space
.RE
.PP
\fBnodense\fR
.RS 4
make equal size columns
.RE
.RE
