# git-column(1) Manual Page

## 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 its input into multiple 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.

--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=<N>

  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.
