Answer 1

In Bootstrap 4, make use of .d-flex on your .btn-group and .w-100 on individual buttons:

.btn-group.d-flex(role='group')
  button.w-100.btn.btn-lg.btn-success(type='button')

You can also use .btn-group-justified.

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<div class="container">
  <div class="btn-group btn-group-justified">
    <a href="button" class="btn btn-default">Left</a>
    <a href="button" class="btn btn-default">Middle</a>
    <a href="button" class="btn btn-default">Right</a>
  </div>
</div>

Answer 3

<div class="col-sm-12">
<div class="btn-group btn-block" role="group">
    <button class="btn btn-success col-sm-10" type="submit">Button 1</button>
    <button class="btn btn-danger col-sm-2" type="submit">Button 2</button>
</div>

Answer 4

Correct solution for Bootstrap 4 (from its migration documentation):

Removed .btn-group-justified. As a replacement you can use <div class="btn-group d-flex" role="group"></div> as a wrapper around elements with .w-100.

Example:

<div class="btn-group d-flex" role="group" aria-label="...">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-default w-100">Left</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-default w-100">Middle</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-default w-100">Right</button>
</div>

Answer 5

You can also use bootstraps btn-block will span across parent.

Create block level buttons—those that span the full width of a parent—by adding .btn-block.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block">Block level button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary btn-lg btn-block">Block level button</button>

Answer 6

Flexbox can do that.

.btn-group.special {
  display: flex;
}

.special .btn {
  flex: 1
}

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="btn-group special" role="group" aria-label="...">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Left</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Middle</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Right</button>
</div>
