    I just discovered from So You Think You Know Git - FOSDEM 2024 that you can use Git to generate columns:

    seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=5
    

    Will render:

    1      3      5      7      9      11     13     15     17     19     21     23
    2      4      6      8      10     12     14     16     18     20     22     24
    

    It can be useful to list files / permissions in a directory in multiples columns

    ls -lah | git column --mode=column --padding=5
    

    (Ok, it’s useless)
