column: show auto columns when pager is active When columns are set to automatic for git tag and the output is paginated by git, the output is a single column instead of multiple columns. Standard behaviour in git is to honor auto values when the pager is active, which happens for example with commands like git log showing colors when being paged. Since ff1e72483 (tag: change default of `pager.tag` to "on", 2017-08-02), the pager has been enabled by default, exposing this problem to more people. finalize_colopts in column.c only checks whether the output is a TTY to determine if columns should be enabled with columns set to auto. Also check if the pager is active. Adding a test for git column is possible but requires some care to work around a race on stdin. See commit 18d8c2693 (test_terminal: redirect child process' stdin to a pty, 2015-08-04). Test git tag instead, since that does not involve stdin, and since that was the original motivation for this patch.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
