To be clear from reading some of the other comments, I don't work at GitHub anymore so while I may have partially caused the issues I'm complaining about, I don't have the ability to fix them anymore. Also, while most GUIs and editors have blame capability (as does GitHub actually), most of them don't ignore whitespace changes (-w), code movement or renames (the -C options) so they're often of limited use. Finally, I _would_ like people to write good commit messages, I just would like to see a tool that actually uses that work in a way that helps document your code in an easy and valuable way, and the Git/Hub tooling makes that process at best "tedious" as someone in the thread says. I am working on a new Git client called GitButler[1] and would like to address this at some point down the line, so maybe it ends up being me who helps fix this after all :) 1: https://gitbutler.com https://gitbutler.com
