# column

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’):

<div>

`always`;; always show in columns `never`;; never show in columns `auto`;; show in columns if the output is to the terminal

</div>

These options control layout (defaults to ’column’). Setting any of these implies ’always’ if none of ’always’, ’never’, or ’auto’ are specified.

<div>

`column`;; fill columns before rows `row`;; fill rows before columns `plain`;; show in one column

</div>

Finally, these options can be combined with a layout option (defaults to ’nodense’):

<div>

`dense`;; make unequal size columns to utilize more space `nodense`;; make equal size columns

</div>

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.
