+NAME
+----
+git-column - Display data in columns
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'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 linkgit: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=<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.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+Format data by columns:
+------------
+$ seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=5
+1      4      7      10     13     16     19     22
+2      5      8      11     14     17     20     23
+3      6      9      12     15     18     21     24
+------------
+
+Format data by rows:
+------------
+$ seq 1 21 | git column --mode=row --padding=5
+1      2      3      4      5      6      7
+8      9      10     11     12     13     14
+15     16     17     18     19     20     21
+------------
+
+List some tags in a table with unequal column widths:
+------------
+$ git tag --list 'v2.4.*' --column=row,dense
+v2.4.0  v2.4.0-rc0  v2.4.0-rc1  v2.4.0-rc2  v2.4.0-rc3
+v2.4.1  v2.4.10     v2.4.11     v2.4.12     v2.4.2
+v2.4.3  v2.4.4      v2.4.5      v2.4.6      v2.4.7
