2 Show blank SHA-1 for boundary commits. This can also
3 be controlled via the `blame.blankBoundary` config option.
6 Do not treat root commits as boundaries. This can also be
7 controlled via the `blame.showRoot` config option.
10 Include additional statistics at the end of blame output.
14 Annotate only the line range given by '<start>,<end>',
15 or by the function name regex '<funcname>'.
16 May be specified multiple times. Overlapping ranges are allowed.
18 '<start>' and '<end>' are optional. `-L <start>` or `-L <start>,` spans from
19 '<start>' to end of file. `-L ,<end>` spans from start of file to '<end>'.
21 include::line-range-format.txt[]
24 Show long rev (Default: off).
27 Show raw timestamp (Default: off).
30 Use revisions from revs-file instead of calling linkgit:git-rev-list[1].
32 --reverse <rev>..<rev>::
33 Walk history forward instead of backward. Instead of showing
34 the revision in which a line appeared, this shows the last
35 revision in which a line has existed. This requires a range of
36 revision like START..END where the path to blame exists in
37 START. `git blame --reverse START` is taken as `git blame
38 --reverse START..HEAD` for convenience.
41 Follow only the first parent commit upon seeing a merge
42 commit. This option can be used to determine when a line
43 was introduced to a particular integration branch, rather
44 than when it was introduced to the history overall.
48 Show in a format designed for machine consumption.
51 Show the porcelain format, but output commit information for
52 each line, not just the first time a commit is referenced.
56 Show the result incrementally in a format designed for
59 --encoding=<encoding>::
60 Specifies the encoding used to output author names
61 and commit summaries. Setting it to `none` makes blame
62 output unconverted data. For more information see the
63 discussion about encoding in the linkgit:git-log[1]
67 When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the
68 changes starting backwards from the working tree copy.
69 This flag makes the command pretend as if the working
70 tree copy has the contents of the named file (specify
71 `-` to make the command read from the standard input).
74 Specifies the format used to output dates. If --date is not
75 provided, the value of the blame.date config variable is
76 used. If the blame.date config variable is also not set, the
77 iso format is used. For supported values, see the discussion
78 of the --date option at linkgit:git-log[1].
81 Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
82 by default when it is attached to a terminal. This flag
83 enables progress reporting even if not attached to a
84 terminal. Can't use `--progress` together with `--porcelain`
88 Detect moved or copied lines within a file. When a commit
89 moves or copies a block of lines (e.g. the original file
90 has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and then
91 A), the traditional 'blame' algorithm notices only half of
92 the movement and typically blames the lines that were moved
93 up (i.e. B) to the parent and assigns blame to the lines that
94 were moved down (i.e. A) to the child commit. With this
95 option, both groups of lines are blamed on the parent by
96 running extra passes of inspection.
98 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
99 alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
100 within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent
101 commit. The default value is 20.
104 In addition to `-M`, detect lines moved or copied from other
105 files that were modified in the same commit. This is
106 useful when you reorganize your program and move code
107 around across files. When this option is given twice,
108 the command additionally looks for copies from other
109 files in the commit that creates the file. When this
110 option is given three times, the command additionally
111 looks for copies from other files in any commit.
113 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
114 alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
115 between files for it to associate those lines with the parent
116 commit. And the default value is 40. If there are more than one
117 `-C` options given, the <num> argument of the last `-C` will
121 Ignore changes made by the revision when assigning blame, as if the
122 change never happened. Lines that were changed or added by an ignored
123 commit will be blamed on the previous commit that changed that line or
124 nearby lines. This option may be specified multiple times to ignore
125 more than one revision. If the `blame.markIgnoredLines` config option
126 is set, then lines that were changed by an ignored commit and attributed to
127 another commit will be marked with a `?` in the blame output. If the
128 `blame.markUnblamableLines` config option is set, then those lines touched
129 by an ignored commit that we could not attribute to another revision are
132 --ignore-revs-file <file>::
133 Ignore revisions listed in `file`, which must be in the same format as an
134 `fsck.skipList`. This option may be repeated, and these files will be
135 processed after any files specified with the `blame.ignoreRevsFile` config
136 option. An empty file name, `""`, will clear the list of revs from
137 previously processed files.
