Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by +commas. The use of the comma as a field separator is the source of the name for this file format. +A CSV file typically stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text, in which case each line +will have the same number of fields. + +The CSV file format is not fully standardized. Other characters can be used as column delimiters. +Fields may or may not be surrounded to escape special characters. + +When added to a repository, files with a `.csv` extension are rendered as a table when viewed in +GitLab. + + |
