EDIT: How do you make a container fill the width of bootstrap col class?

Question

I am using bootstrap and hover.css to create a list-group where the list-group-items are buttons. The problem is that I can't set the width of these items to only fill the space of their parent.

EDIT: The problem was not actually that the buttons were going outside the container. It's the containers that are going outside the columns

In my html I currently have:

<div class="col-md-4">
        <div class="list-box">
            <div class="container">
                <h1>Some title</h1>
                <div class="list-group">
                    <button type="button" class="list-group-item hvr-sweep-to-left" ng-repeat="project in currentUser.projects">
                        {{Something}}
                    </button>   
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

In my css I currently have:

.list-box 
{
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    border-color: #000000;
    display: block;
}

.list-group-item
{
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
}

This is the hover.css I am using

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you're looking for. However here is the solution if you want the list items to fill their parent:

body{width:100%;}
.container 
{    background-color: red;
    border-color: #000000;
    display: block;
    padding: 0;
}
h1{font-size:large;}
.list-group-item
{
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
}

Answer 2

I changed the bg color to red just to check the size/fitting. Jsbin link here What you're after or no?

body {
  width: 100%;
}
.container {
  background-color: red;
  border-color: #000000;
  display: block;
}
h1 {
  font-size: large;
}
.list-group-item {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
}
