How do I align Bootstrap 4 list tabs in the center?

bootstrap-4

I have tabs like these:

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<ul class="nav nav-pills mb-3" id="pills-tab" role="tablist">
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link active" id="pills-home-tab" data-toggle="pill" href="#pills-home" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-home" aria-selected="true">Home</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" id="pills-profile-tab" data-toggle="pill" href="#pills-profile" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-profile" aria-selected="false">Profile</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" id="pills-contact-tab" data-toggle="pill" href="#pills-contact" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-contact" aria-selected="false">Contact</a>
  </li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content" id="pills-tabContent">
  <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="pills-home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="pills-home-tab">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane fade" id="pills-profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="pills-profile-tab">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane fade" id="pills-contact" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="pills-contact-tab">...</div>
</div>

But instead of having them on the left, I'd like them in the center.

I tried text-align: center; and even setting margin-left: 0 and margin-right: 0 but neither is working. What's the easiest way to do this without re-writing the whole code?

How do I align navbar content to center in Bootstrap 4?

By default, navs are left-aligned, but you can easily change them to center or right aligned. Centered with . justify-content-center : Active.

How do I center my Bootstrap page?

1 — Vertical Center Using Auto Margins One way to vertically center is to use my-auto . This will center the element within it's flexbox container (The Bootstrap 4 . row is display:flex ). For example, h-100 makes the row full height, and my-auto will vertically center the col-sm-12 column.

You can use the following solution using justify-content-center on the <ul> element.

Solution using Bootstrap 4.0:

<ul class="nav nav-pills mb-3 justify-content-center" id="pills-tab" role="tablist">
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link active" id="pills-home-tab" data-toggle="pill" href="#pills-home" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-home" aria-selected="true">Home</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" id="pills-profile-tab" data-toggle="pill" href="#pills-profile" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-profile" aria-selected="false">Profile</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">

</ul>
<div class="tab-content" id="pills-tabContent">
  <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="pills-home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="pills-home-tab">Home</div>

  margin: 0;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}
.nav-item{
