However, I am tempted to comment on some details here. Especially, what happens if a remote is named with a non-ASCII character (unicode code point would be a better term) ? To determine the width on screen for aligment, strlen() does the wrong thing here. This has been done at other place (being UTF-8 aware), you may want to have a look at this change: commit 12fc4ad89e23af642a8614371ff80bc67cb3315d Author: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@xxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 14 17:13:33 2022 +0200 diff.c: use utf8_strwidth() to count display width > Reported-by: Roman Dodin <dodin.roman@xxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Kir Kolyshkin <kolyshkin@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > builtin/remote.c | 12 ++++++++++-- > 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/builtin/remote.c b/builtin/remote.c > index 729f6f3643..116417574d 100644 > --- a/builtin/remote.c > +++ b/builtin/remote.c > @@ -1245,13 +1245,21 @@ static int show_all(void) > result = for_each_remote(get_one_entry, &list); > > if (!result) { > - int i; > + int i, width = 7; > + > + if (verbose) { > + for (i = 0; i < list.nr; i++) { > + int len = strlen((list.items + i)->string); > + if (len > width) > + width = len; > + } > + } > > string_list_sort(&list); > for (i = 0; i < list.nr; i++) { > struct string_list_item *item = list.items + i; > if (verbose) > - printf("%s\t%s\n", item->string, > + printf("%-*s\t%s\n", width, item->string, > item->util ?
