I bet you money that 5 years from now this will be renamed to "attribute" or "authorship".

  Because of Linus's well documented concern for people's feelings?
  • conanbatt 6y ago
    It is happening to master -> main on github.
    • JadeNB 6y ago
      Linus does not control GitHub.
      • conanbatt 6y ago
        Care to take the bet then? 5 years to get 'blame' renamed?
        • JadeNB 6y ago
          No, but, if you remember, then you've got documented bragging rights when it happens.
          • conanbatt 6y ago
            I have bragging rights on putting my money where my mouth is today.

  Jetbrain's IDEs label it as "annotate". Though, I suspect that's intended as a generalization of the various VCS options they support. --- I do think it'd be good to move away from the negative connotation associated with blame. I want to know who to ask about some code, not who to blame for it breaking.

    Annotate is used in Mercurial (and probably others).

    CVS called it annotate back in the 90s.
