I was not able to find a\nreference for this in the git docs, maybe I just overlooked it\nsomewhere.\n\nAs a second query, is there a way to do column alignment? For example,\nI would like the ahead/behind status in one column, and the branch\nnames left aligned in a 2nd column. I can't simply use tabs here since\nthe length of column 1 may differ more greatly than a single tab\ncharacter.\n\nI imagine there is no built in way to do this, but just curious. I'd\nprobably end up having to write some complicated script :-(\n\nThanks again you've been super helpful.\n"},{"id":"261350","messageId":"20150515165912.GA26853@peff.net","threadId":"39335","inReplyTo":"CAHd499Am4PFo-YRJEbQfPqtk571f4eNr_gkdy-3ATzyvBcc-jw@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Show all branches and ahead/behind states","fromName":"Jeff King","fromEmail":"peff@peff.net","sentAt":"2015-05-15T16:59:13Z","receivedAt":"2015-05-15T16:59:13Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"peff@peff.net","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45925?v=4"},"body":"On Fri, May 15, 2015 at 09:25:22AM -0500, Robert Dailey wrote:\n\n> > It's spelled \"%C(bold blue)\" in the --pretty formats, but in\n> > for-each-ref, it's \"%(color:bold blue)\".

But \"for-each-ref\"\ndoesn't have any similar facility, as far as I know.\n\nAgain, this is something that it would be nice to fix.\n\n-Peff\n"}]}
