It's in "git help for-each-ref" (see the section on "FIELD NAMES"). > As a second query, is there a way to do column alignment?

The "--pretty" format does have "%<" for doing printf-style alignment (see the "PRETTY FORMATS" section of "git help log"). But "for-each-ref" doesn't have any similar facility, as far as I know.
