OPTIONS¶
-b
Show blank SHA-1 for boundary commits. This can also be
controlled via the blame.blankboundary config option.
--root
Do not treat root commits as boundaries. This can also be
controlled via the blame.showroot config option.
--show-stats
Include additional statistics at the end of blame
output.
-L <start>,<end>
Annotate only the given line range. <start> and
<end> can take one of these forms:
•number
If <start> or <end> is a number, it specifies an
absolute line number (lines count from 1).
•/regex/
This form will use the first line matching the given POSIX regex.
If <end> is a regex, it will search starting at the line given by
<start>.
•+offset or -offset
This is only valid for <end> and will specify a number of
lines before or after the line given by <start>.
-l
Show long rev (Default: off).
-t
Show raw timestamp (Default: off).
-S <revs-file>
--reverse
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.
-p, --porcelain
Show in a format designed for machine consumption.
--incremental
Show the result incrementally in a format designed for
machine consumption.
--encoding=<encoding>
Specifies the encoding used to output author names and
commit summaries. Setting it to none makes blame output unconverted data. For
more information see the discussion about encoding in the
git-log(1)
manual page.
--contents <file>
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 - to make the command read from the standard input).
--date <format>
The value is one of the following alternatives:
{relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short}. 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 more information, See the
discussion of the --date option at
git-log(1).
-M|<num>|
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
blame 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.
<num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving within a file for it
to associate those lines with the parent commit.
-C|<num>|
In addition to -M, 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.
<num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving between files for it
to associate those lines with the parent commit.
-h, --help
Show help message.
