PR Layout

PR Section Layout (pr)

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.
