I really dislike the term chosen for this feature. “Blame”, assumes the code is broken or written improperly in some way. Most of the time I use it I’m just trying to find out who wrote it so I can find the original commit to understand it in more context.
Should have named it “git who”
- brantonb 7y agoXcode 10 changed their per-line annotation feature from Blame to Authors.
- panda88888 7y agoOr “git credit”

- thwarted 7y agoYou can always use "git annotate" or alias git commands in your gitconfig.
- AceJohnny2 7y agoSVN has the alias "svn praise". I was disappointed that git didn't have it, so I created myself one. I'm glad git has trivial support for aliases.
- chemodax 7y agoAFAIK original was "cvs annotate" [1]. Subversion introduced "svn blame" and "svn praise" aliases for "svn annotate" as some kind of joke. It's funny that git only has "git blame".
