| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .sp |
| Annotates each line in the given file with information from the revision which last modified the line\&. Optionally, start annotating from the given revision\&. |
| .sp |
| When specified one or more times, \fB\-L\fR restricts annotation to the requested lines\&. |
| .sp |
| The origin of lines is automatically followed across whole\-file renames (currently there is no option to turn the rename\-following off)\&. To follow lines moved from one file to another, or to follow lines that were copied and pasted from another file, etc\&., see the \fB\-C\fR and \fB\-M\fR options\&. |
| .sp |
| The report does not tell you anything about lines which have been deleted or replaced; you need to use a tool such as \fIgit diff\fR or the "pickaxe" interface briefly mentioned in the following paragraph\&. |
| .sp |
| Apart from supporting file annotation, Git also supports searching the development history for when a code snippet occurred in a change\&. This makes it possible to track when a code snippet was added to a file, moved or copied between files, and eventually deleted or replaced\&. It works by searching for a text string in the diff\&. A small example of the pickaxe interface that searches for \fBblame_usage\fR: |
| .sp |

| \-\-reverse <rev>\&.\&.<rev> |
| .RS 4 |
| Walk history forward instead of backward\&. Instead of showing the revision in which a line appeared, this shows the last revision in which a line has existed\&. This requires a range of revision like START\&.\&.END where the path to blame exists in START\&. |
| \fBgit blame \-\-reverse START\fR |
| is taken as |
| \fBgit blame \-\-reverse START\&.\&.HEAD\fR |
| for convenience\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-first\-parent |
| .RS 4 |
| Follow only the first parent commit upon seeing a merge commit\&. This option can be used to determine when a line was introduced to a particular integration branch, rather than when it was introduced to the history overall\&. |
| .RE |

| .RE |

| .RS 4 |
| Show the result incrementally in a format designed for machine consumption\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-encoding=<encoding> |
| .RS 4 |
| Specifies the encoding used to output author names and commit summaries\&. Setting it to |

| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-contents <file> |
| .RS 4 |
| When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the changes starting backwards from the working tree copy\&. This flag makes the command pretend as if the working tree copy has the contents of the named file (specify |
| \fB\-\fR |
| to make the command read from the standard input)\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-date <format> |
| .RS 4 |
| Specifies the format used to output dates\&. If \-\-date is not provided, the value of the blame\&.date config variable is used\&. If the blame\&.date config variable is also not set, the iso format is used\&. For supported values, see the discussion of the \-\-date option at |
| \fBgit-log\fR(1)\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-[no\-]progress |
| .RS 4 |
| Progress status is reported on the standard error stream by default when it is attached to a terminal\&. This flag enables progress reporting even if not attached to a terminal\&. Can\(cqt use |

| \fB\-\-incremental\fR\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-M[<num>] |
| .RS 4 |
| Detect moved or copied lines within a file\&. When a commit moves or copies a block of lines (e\&.g\&. the original file has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and then A), the traditional |
| \fIblame\fR |
| algorithm notices only half of the movement and typically blames the lines that were moved up (i\&.e\&. B) to the parent and assigns blame to the lines that were moved down (i\&.e\&. A) to the child commit\&. With this option, both groups of lines are blamed on the parent by running extra passes of inspection\&. |
| .sp |
| <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent commit\&. The default value is 20\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-C[<num>] |
| .RS 4 |
| In addition to |
| \fB\-M\fR, detect lines moved or copied from other files that were modified in the same commit\&. This is useful when you reorganize your program and move code around across files\&. When this option is given twice, the command additionally looks for copies from other files in the commit that creates the file\&. When this option is given three times, the command additionally looks for copies from other files in any commit\&. |
| .sp |
| <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying between files for it to associate those lines with the parent commit\&. And the default value is 40\&. If there are more than one |
| \fB\-C\fR |
| options given, the <num> argument of the last |
| \fB\-C\fR |
| will take effect\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-ignore\-rev <rev> |
| .RS 4 |
| Ignore changes made by the revision when assigning blame, as if the change never happened\&. Lines that were changed or added by an ignored commit will be blamed on the previous commit that changed that line or nearby lines\&. This option may be specified multiple times to ignore more than one revision\&. If the |
| \fBblame\&.markIgnoredLines\fR |
| config option is set, then lines that were changed by an ignored commit and attributed to another commit will be marked with a |
| \fB?\fR |
| in the blame output\&. If the |
| \fBblame\&.markUnblamableLines\fR |
| config option is set, then those lines touched by an ignored commit that we could not attribute to another revision are marked with a |
| \fI*\fR\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-ignore\-revs\-file <file> |
| .RS 4 |
| Ignore revisions listed in |
| \fBfile\fR, which must be in the same format as an |
| \fBfsck\&.skipList\fR\&. This option may be repeated, and these files will be processed after any files specified with the |
| \fBblame\&.ignoreRevsFile\fR |
| config option\&. An empty file name, |
| \fB""\fR, will clear the list of revs from previously processed files\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-color\-lines |
| .RS 4 |
| Color line annotations in the default format differently if they come from the same commit as the preceding line\&. This makes it easier to distinguish code blocks introduced by different commits\&. The color defaults to cyan and can be adjusted using the |
| \fBcolor\&.blame\&.repeatedLines\fR |
| config option\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-color\-by\-age |
| .RS 4 |
| Color line annotations depending on the age of the line in the default format\&. The |

| .RS 4 |
| Include debugging information related to the movement of lines between files (see |
| \fB\-C\fR) and lines moved within a file (see |

| The porcelain format generally suppresses commit information that has already been seen\&. For example, two lines that are blamed to the same commit will both be shown, but the details for that commit will be shown only once\&. This is more efficient, but may require more state be kept by the reader\&. The \fB\-\-line\-porcelain\fR option can be used to output full commit information for each line, allowing simpler (but less efficient) usage like: |

| .SH "SPECIFYING RANGES" |
| .sp |
| Unlike \fIgit blame\fR and \fIgit annotate\fR in older versions of git, the extent of the annotation can be limited to both line ranges and revision ranges\&. The \fB\-L\fR option, which limits annotation to a range of lines, may be specified multiple times\&. |
| .sp |
| When you are interested in finding the origin for lines 40\-60 for file \fBfoo\fR, you can use the \fB\-L\fR option like so (they mean the same thing \(em both ask for 21 lines starting at line 40): |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| git blame \-L 40,60 foo |
| git blame \-L 40,+21 foo |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| Also you can use a regular expression to specify the line range: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| git blame \-L \(aq/^sub hello {/,/^}$/\(aq foo |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| which limits the annotation to the body of the \fBhello\fR subroutine\&. |
| .sp |
| When you are not interested in changes older than version v2\&.6\&.18, or changes older than 3 weeks, you can use revision range specifiers similar to \fIgit rev\-list\fR: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| git blame v2\&.6\&.18\&.\&. \-\- foo |
| git blame \-\-since=3\&.weeks \-\- foo |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| When revision range specifiers are used to limit the annotation, lines that have not changed since the range boundary (either the commit v2\&.6\&.18 or the most recent commit that is more than 3 weeks old in the above example) are blamed for that range boundary commit\&. |
| .sp |
| A particularly useful way is to see if an added file has lines created by copy\-and\-paste from existing files\&. Sometimes this indicates that the developer was being sloppy and did not refactor the code properly\&. You can first find the commit that introduced the file with: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| git log \-\-diff\-filter=A \-\-pretty=short \-\- foo |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| and then annotate the change between the commit and its parents, using \fBcommit^!\fR notation: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| git blame \-C \-C \-f $commit^! \-\- foo |
