GitHub supports rendering tabular data in the form of .csv (comma-separated) and .tsv (tab-separated) files.
When viewed, any .csv or .tsv file committed to a GitHub Enterprise repository automatically renders as an interactive table, complete with headers and row numbering. By default, we'll always assume the first row is your header row.
You can link to a particular row by clicking the row number, or select multiple rows by holding down the shift key. Just copy the URL and send it to a friend.
Searching data
If you want to find a certain value in your dataset, you can start typing in the search bar directly above the file. The rows will filter automagically:
Handling errors
Occasionally, you may discover that your CSV or TSV file isn't rendering. In those instances, an error box appears at the bottom of your raw text, suggesting what the error may be.
Common errors include:
- Mismatched column counts. You must have the same number of separators in each row, even if the cell is blank
- Exceeding the file size. Our rendering only works for files up to 512KB. Anything bigger than that slows down the browser.
