title: git always display branches in columns
body: <p>I have a bunch of branches and I'm trying to setup git so the default display is in columns. That is, I want the default to be <code>git branch --column</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I tried defining an alias in my <code>.gitconfig</code> file: <code>bc = branch --column</code> but when I type <code>git bc</code> in terminal, it instead creates a branch called <code>--column</code>!! (sure was fun <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1192180/deleting-a-badly-named-git-branch">trying to get rid of <em>that</em> branch...</a>)</p>
  
  <p>I've also tried <code>git branch --column=always</code> but that just displays things in column format for that one specific instance instead of setting it to the default display.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried reading the documentation and searching online but haven't been able to find an answer.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>git help branch</code> asked me to <em>"See configuration variable column.branch for option syntax."</em></li>
  <li>Google searching brought up <a href="https://tortoisegit.org/docs/tortoisegit/git-command.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this page on git-commands from tortoisegit.org</a> but the section on <code>column.branch</code> says to look at the section on <code>column.ui</code> and <code>column.ui</code> just lists the available settings for outputting in columns. </li>
  </ul>
