1git-column(1) 2============= 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-column - Display data in columns 7 8SYNOPSIS 9-------- 10[verse] 11'git column' [--command=<name>] [--[raw-]mode=<mode>] [--width=<width>] 12 [--indent=<string>] [--nl=<string>] [--padding=<n>] 13 14DESCRIPTION 15----------- 16This command formats the lines of its standard input into a table with 17multiple columns. Each input line occupies one cell of the table. It 18is used internally by other git commands to format output into 19columns. 20 21OPTIONS 22------- 23--command=<name>:: 24 Look up layout mode using configuration variable column.<name> and 25 column.ui. 26 27--mode=<mode>:: 28 Specify layout mode. See configuration variable column.ui for option 29 syntax in linkgit:git-config[1]. 30 31--raw-mode=<n>:: 32 Same as --mode but take mode encoded as a number. This is mainly used 33 by other commands that have already parsed layout mode. 34 35--width=<width>:: 36 Specify the terminal width. By default 'git column' will detect the 37 terminal width, or fall back to 80 if it is unable to do so. 38 39--indent=<string>:: 40 String to be printed at the beginning of each line. 41 42--nl=<N>:: 43 String to be printed at the end of each line, 44 including newline character. 45 46--padding=<N>:: 47 The number of spaces between columns. One space by default. 48 49EXAMPLES 50------ 51 52Format data by columns: 53------------ 54$ seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=5 551 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 562 5 8 11 14 17 20 23 573 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 58------------ 59 60Format data by rows: 61------------ 62$ seq 1 21 | git column --mode=row --padding=5 631 2 3 4 5 6 7 648 9 10 11 12 13 14 6515 16 17 18 19 20 21 66------------ 67 68List some tags in a table with unequal column widths: 69------------ 70$ git tag --list 'v2.4.*' --column=row,dense 71v2.4.0 v2.4.0-rc0 v2.4.0-rc1 v2.4.0-rc2 v2.4.0-rc3 72v2.4.1 v2.4.10 v2.4.11 v2.4.12 v2.4.2 73v2.4.3 v2.4.4 v2.4.5 v2.4.6 v2.4.7 74v2.4.8 v2.4.9 75------------ 76 77GIT 78--- 79Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
