Let's take them one by one.

1. You can do <n>,$y in the command mode where n is the number of line and $ represents end of file. e.g. :15,$y

2. you can just enter the line number in command mode. e.g. :20 with place the cursor at line 20.

3. You can always do a set nu in command mode and check it.

4. Do a !<command name> in escape mode.

5. Can you eloborate more on what you want.


I am also a novice ....but i think this might be helpful Smilie

NAME
git-column - Display data in columns SYNOPSIS
git column [--command=<name>] [--[raw-]mode=<mode>] [--width=<width>] [--indent=<string>] [--nl=<string>] [--padding=<n>] DESCRIPTION
This command formats its input into multiple columns. OPTIONS
--command=<name> Look up layout mode using configuration variable column.<name> and column.ui. --mode=<mode> Specify layout mode. See configuration variable column.ui for option syntax. --raw-mode=<n> Same as --mode but take mode encoded as a number. This is mainly used by other commands that have already parsed layout mode. --width=<width> Specify the terminal width. By default git column will detect the terminal width, or fall back to 80 if it is unable to do so. --indent=<string> String to be printed at the beginning of each line. --nl=<N> String to be printed at the end of each line, including newline character. --padding=<N> The number of spaces between columns. One space by default. GIT
