PR Layout

PR Section Layout

You can define how a PR section displays items in its table by setting options for the available columns. You can define a column’s width, whether it grows to fill available space, and whether the column should be visible at all.

Note that if the length of a column’s text exceeds the defined column width, the view truncates the column’s text to two characters shorter than the column’s width. For example, if the width is 6, gh-dash displays as gh-d.

Column headings have their color defined by the theme.colors.text.primary setting.

By default, PR views display the following columns in the order they’re listed:

1. updatedAt with a width of 7 columns.
2. state with a width of 3 columns.
3. repo with a width of 15 columns.
4. title, set to grow to fill available space.
5. author with a width of 10 columns.
6. reviewStatus with a width of 3 columns.
7. ci with a width of 3 columns.
8. lines with a width of 16 columns.

Watch out!

Even though the state, title, comments, and reactions settings aren’t explicitly defined in your configuration file, they’re added to the table unless you set their hidden option to false.
