git-column:tldr:f1d9b
This command is a combination of the ls
and git column
commands, connected together with a pipe (|
) symbol.
The ls
command is used to list the files and directories in the current working directory. It displays the names of the files and directories in a single column format by default.
The git column
command is a utility provided by git that allows you to display tabular data in a more organized and readable way. It has various options and modes to control the appearance and behavior of the output.
In this case, the --mode=column
option tells git column
to display the data in a columnar format. By default, git column
uses tab widths for column separation. However, the command specifies a custom width using --width=${100}
. This means that the width of each column will be set to 100 characters.
The pipe (|
) symbol is used to redirect the output of the ls
command as input to the git column
command. It takes the output of ls
, formats it using git column
, and then displays the resulting formatted output.
Overall, this command will list the files and directories in the current directory and display them in a columnar format using git column
, with each column having a width of 100 characters.
