Here is the screenshot of my tabs menu

But the tab menu items jumps to next line if it has more items

Code

<div class="row col-lg-12">
    <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
            <li class="active"><a data-toggle="tab" href="#home">Home</a></li>
            <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#menu1">Menu 1</a></li>
           ......
    </ul>
    <div class="tab-content">
      <!--Contents goes here -->
     </div>
  </div>

So how can i fits all memu items into a single line??

What you are looking for is what we call a scrollable tabbed menu, which enables you to click the left/right arrow to navigate through multiple tabs. You will will need to use jQuery and CSS to achieve this. Here’s a perfect example for you. Hopefully it’s what you are after.

<div class="container">
  <div class="scroller scroller-left"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></i></div>
  <div class="scroller scroller-right"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></i></div>
  <div class="wrapper">
    <ul class="nav nav-tabs list" id="myTab">
      <li class="active"><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="#profile">Profile</a></li>
      <li><a href="#messages">Messages</a></li>
      <li><a href="#settings">Settings</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tab4</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tab5</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tab6</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tab7</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tab8</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tab9</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tab10</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tab11</a></li>

  </ul>
  </div>
</div>

.wrapper {
    position:relative;
    margin:0 auto;
    overflow:hidden;
    padding:5px;
    height:50px;
}

.list {
    position:absolute;
    left:0px;
    top:0px;
    min-width:3000px;
    margin-left:12px;
    margin-top:0px;
}

.list li{
    display:table-cell;
    position:relative;
    text-align:center;
    cursor:grab;
    cursor:-webkit-grab;
    color:#efefef;
    vertical-align:middle;
}

  text-align:center;

  float:right;
}

.scroller-left {
  float:left;
}


var hidWidth;
var scrollBarWidths = 40;

var widthOfList = function(){
  var itemsWidth = 0;
  $('.list li').each(function(){
    var itemWidth = $(this).outerWidth();
    itemsWidth+=itemWidth;
  });
  return itemsWidth;
};

var widthOfHidden = function(){
  return (($('.wrapper').outerWidth())-widthOfList()-getLeftPosi())-scrollBarWidths;

var getLeftPosi = function(){
  return $('.list').position().left;
};

var reAdjust = function(){
  if (($('.wrapper').outerWidth()) < widthOfList()) {
    $('.scroller-right').show();
  }
  else {
    $('.scroller-right').hide();
  }

  if (getLeftPosi()<0) {
    $('.scroller-left').show();
  }
  else {
    $('.item').animate({left:"-="+getLeftPosi()+"px"},'slow');
    $('.scroller-left').hide();
  }
}

reAdjust();

$(window).on('resize',function(e){  
    reAdjust();
});

$('.scroller-right').click(function() {

  $('.scroller-left').fadeIn('slow');
  $('.scroller-right').fadeOut('slow');

  $('.list').animate({left:"+="+widthOfHidden()+"px"},'slow',function(){

  });
});

$('.scroller-left').click(function() {

    $('.scroller-right').fadeIn('slow');
    $('.scroller-left').fadeOut('slow');

    $('.list').animate({left:"-="+getLeftPosi()+"px"},'slow',function(){

    });
});

You can extend it to number of columns you needs. It requires adding a less function.

A less variable allows to set column width in grid.less file:

@grid-columns:              12;

Here is a code that i found useful to extend it to 18 columns:

//
// Grid system
// --------------------------------------------------

// Set the container width, and override it for fixed navbars in media queries
.container {
  .container-fixed();
}

// mobile first defaults
.row {
  .make-row();
}
