Button Groups
Bootstrap allows you to group a series of buttons together (on a single line) in a button group:
Use a <div> element with class .btn-group to create a button group:
Example
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
</div>

Tip: Instead of applying button sizes to every button in a
group, use class .btn-group-* to size all buttons in the group:
Example
<div class="btn-group btn-group-lg">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
</div>

Vertical Button Groups
Bootstrap also supports vertical button groups:
Use the class .btn-group-vertical to create a vertical button group:
Example
<div class="btn-group-vertical">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
</div>

Justified Button Groups
To span the entire width of the screen, use the .btn-group-justified
class:
Example with <a> elements:
Example
<div class="btn-group
btn-group-justified">
<a
href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</a>
</div>

Note: For <button> elements, you must wrap each button in a .btn-group class:
Example
<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified">
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn
btn-primary">Samsung</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
</div>
</div>
