shortTitle: Render CSV & TSV data
|
|
---
|
|
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 {% data variables.product.product_name %} 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.

## 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.
